Question Help with fuzes

Hey guys I have a 2000 z28 Camaro A4 and the only electrical stuff that’s done to it is a new head unit speakers and a sub which have been on the car for past 10+ years except the head unit it’s been on the car for the past 3 months but up until now I’ve never had a problem with it but what is happening is when I lock the car the power accessory fuse blows every time without fail any ideas what it might be ?
also I never had a problem until I installed a new tail light housing which was about a month ago a few days after that the first one blew then it went a few weeks and now it blows every time I don’t see how it could be related but just giving the information just in case
also tail lights don’t seem to be working when it blows
PS: just found tail lamps fuse to also be blown


thank you in advance

start at the spot where the problem began. pull the taillights back out and check all your wiring. you probably have a wire pinched behind one of the lights.
