One trick when debugging a fuse blowing situation is to 
connect a test lamp across the blown/missing fuse.  If
there's a connection to ground (either a short or a
normal load such as a light) the test lamp will be on.
Your process in chasing the short is to find the wire
or whatever which when moved will make the test light
go out.  Easier to see than a meter, and beats the
heck out of feeding it good fuses!

Good luck.
