Fuse keeps blowing out

I have a 1996 Damon Daybreak. On the drivers side of the coach my overhead outlets don't work. I found that I have a 15 amp fuse that was blown, the writing on the fuse box is so faded that I can't read it. I replaced the fuse when I was hooked up to city power and I get this high piercing sound for a about 10 seconds and the fuse blows again. The sound doesn't stay on long enough to trace it. Help!

You have a short or shorted component. With no power connect an ohm meter and start taking things apart until the reading drops to zero or nearly so. Thats your problem

If it is 12 volts place a light bulb where the fuse goes.

Then troubleshoot.

The light will glow as it is a 12 volt device with current limiting so nothing should get hurt.

The brighter the light the lower the resistance.

Do not wiggle things as you want to see a change on your action.

Unplug things assigned to the fuse and when the light goes dim you have found a possible cause.

Just grab a clearance light assembly as it has small bulb and wires.

Solder the wires to the ends of the blown fuse and plug it in.
