I replaced everything and checked again and it seemed ok, leaving it powered up for a minute.
The next time I started the car, it was blown again. Additionally, the window switches quit and that fuse proved to be out too.
My question is if it is likely to be the control module under the seat that has gotten wet? I haven't noticed any leaks before and it didn't seem the carpet was wet.
Thoughts?

A fuse blows when the circuit is drawing more amperage then the circuit (wiring) is designed for.
So you most likely have a short to ground or your gizmo is drawing more amps then the circuit is designed for.
