Generally speaking, fuses blow when too much current passes through them. Typically this happens when there is a short circuit some place. a connector or bare spot in a wire touching ground, a bad component on a circuit board, a bit of conductive debris on a circuit board all can cause shorts. If the fuse blows, it's doing its job to protect you from a problem you have yet to find.
