In the last two days, I have blown two ignition fuses in the exact same manner. Both occurred approximately 5-10 seconds after starting the car while closing my glove box. Both times the car shut off as a result of the glove box being closed and I am wondering where I should start looking for the short based on this scenario. I don't think it is a coincidence because I drove the car all day after the first fuse blew and the second one only blew after closing the glove box while the car was running the next day.

Thanks,
Tim
 
id start by removing the glove box and looking for a bare wire. One probably got pinched when you shut it.
