Default Fan Fuse issues

Okay I cannot keep a fuse in my fuse box when it comes to the fans as soon as I put one in and reconnect the battery it blows, maybe I'm missing something simple here but it's frustrating me to no end.

I have a SLP fan swith installed (Correctly), but just don't see why it keeps blowing.

Since the SLP switch is plug and play first thing I'd try is unplugging it and reconnecting the stock connectors - if nothing else it'll eliminate the SLP switch or connector as the problem.

Okay I disconnected both fans, put a new fuse in, reconnected the battery and it blew the fuse. I pulled all the loom off looking for a shorted wire but can't seem to find one.

I need help here guys.

By disconnecting the fans before you hook the battery up you are eliminating the fans as the culprit. Now is the time to get out your DMM and a wiring schematic and start looking for a short to ground.
