power window blown fuse updates 200

BLOWING POWER WINDOW FUSES ALL OF THE SUDDEN
clues:

fuse does not blow on window during up or down operation. as such.

fuse blows after a period of time. Time seems to be related to the size of fuse.

Rated ar 16amps, i first found a blown 8amp in the socket at the start of this smoldering emergency. put in a 16A and fuse did not blow for about five mins or so. Also the proper fuse makes all the windows go up and down much faster.

I get a few minutes of normal service with the new fuse. Up and down Up and down Up and down...... Fixed. Then when I try a few moments later the fuse is blown.....

It suppose it could possibly be blowing on roll up. I guess I need to see when it blows in relationship to operation. I will watch and and see.

Also a few minor, but now as I assemble all the clues, facts-

When I engage the left turn signal. the broken light idiot light goes on for a nano second. But only if i have not engaged the turn signal fow a while. If I try to replicate the event in rapid sequence it only seems to happen on the first engagement of the sequence.

BUT it never happens if the headlights are on.

I keep telling myself that it ain't a car,,,, it's a hobby.

Are these related?

My hunch is a moisture problem. We just had the last snow of the year and and the snow sat on flat surfaces of the car and melted slowly giving the car a good soak.

When i first got the car i had a passenger floor board of water after a soaking rain... happened only once, never since.....

HINTS? CLUES? THANKS AGAIN
