    Tom go and remove the kick panel cover on the driver's side,once you remove that cover there will be three relays exposed to your eyes.

    The relay that is more likely to be causing your fuse to blow up is the one in the middle.

    All three relays are the same,if you want you can swap the middle one for either the one on the top or the bottom and drive for a while to see if the fuse blows up again. If not then you know the relay have to be replaced.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Another good possibility.

    Another good possibility. It could even be that the relay is just loose.

    So why does the "EDIT" button down there on the right say "Edit/Delete" when you roll your mouse over it, but if you click on it there's no way to delete a duplicate message like I've just made?

    Good luck...

    I hope you've had this problem fixed, but here's my $.02 if not. I had the same problem last year, tried a few things at The Stoop in Moab to fix it (including yanking the trailer wiring), even brought it to Arches Repair Center in Moab (big mistake), but nothing worked & I had to deal with the issue all the way back home to Chicago. My mechanic found a short at the right front fender light. After fixing that and the damage Arches did to the fuse box, it's been fine ever since. Hope this helps...
