Default fuse blowing

When I purchased My pace car from the dealer, the only thing wrong with it was that the power antenna didn't work and the lite on the shifter was out. they replaced both and every thing was fine. I also had the mufflers replaced with flowmasters.Now It keeps blowing the fuse for the power antenna,doorlocks and courtesy lights. when I replace the fuse it initially won't blow but eventually it does the following day. the vette only has 800 orig. miles and was always kept indoors. Could a wire have been shorted out near the power antenna when the mufflers were replaced or the antenna itself ? Any ideas where to trouble shoot would be app. thanks :confused:

Possibly. Hows the power antena work?
Inspect your wires
check the fuse holder for a loose connection
unplug the power ant, see if that stops the fuse blowing

Some enterprising soul dropped a dime in my lighter socket. Any guess how many fuses it took before I figured that one out? :crazy:
