recently i moved my battery to the trunk and then a wire near one of my headlight relays shorted out. now the top right fuse keeps blowing, i replace it everytime then just keep driving. what can i do to stop this?

start disconnecting things from the fuse one at a time 'till it quits blowing. Carefully unscrew fuse box from its position and pull out until you can access the wires on the back side to disconnect the offending fuse's circuits till you find the bad one.

If this is the fuse that powers the instruments and the tii electric fuel pump, I'd suspect the sensors in the front seats that cause the seat belt light to illuminate. It's not shown on the factory wiring diagram and is the "extra wire" on that fuse (the one not in the diagram). Disconnecting that wire and taping it up cured my fuse blowing problem, but that won't help you if it's a different fuse.

Tracking down electical problems are a real PITA...
