that means you had cross wires some where. check your wire thruly for broken insulator or terminal

where are these wires??? i found a metal ring that was unattached from the fender and touching some wires, could that be my problem? im out of fuses so i guess ill check tomorrow....

Yes that could be your problem. When the metal ring touches the copper of two or more wires, it is most likely causing an arc which blows your fuse. Re-check the wires for any bare copper to metal and then install a new fuse. Also, use some rtv sealant on exposed copper of wires.
