STILL blowing fuses

All: Many thanks for the suggestions, and rather than
individual replies, let me add: the rad fan does work on
low speed, a/c on auto fan is on, a/c on econ or off fan
runs when water temp hits the specific temperature. Rad
fan motor has no bad feelings (burned bearings or such),
spins freely, wires don't look melted from excessive
current. Rear wiper: disconnected; there's a plug by the
left rear tail-light, big round thing, connects all the
wires going to the rear hatch (yes, it's an avant), so
all the wires in the hinge area, which were broken and
now fixed, are out of the ckt. We also suspected the
front wiper motor, but when he was unplugged, it still
blew fuses. The other typical broken wire places (door
openings and such for power windows) seem to be on
different fuses.

New questions: where does the wire bundle run from the
tail-light plug to the front? Under the door plastic
protector things? I'll start looking there as well. What
else runs off that fuse?

Any thoughts? Aluminum foil to keep the aliens from
blowing my fuses?
