blowing fuses, where to look?

Somewhere the wiring on my z is grounding out. The third fuse from the top on the left side. I have a MSA aftermarket fuse box. It was already installed in the car when I bought it from the previous owner. This fuse works all the gauges, including the tac. If I let it blow and don't change it the battery dies after about a half hour of driving. I just tried changing it and when I turn the car to accessory it blows as well. Where should I look?? I don't really feel confident enough to remove the entire dash myself, but any suggestions?

does it seam to happen at particular times such as left or right turns? that could help give it away. The first place I would look is where the wire run threw the fire wall, thats where there is rubbing and the wire could be worn down and grounding out, also, pulling the dash is a lot easier then it seams if it comes down to that.

No it doesn't. Forgot to mention the turn signals also stop working when the fuse is blown. It's been doing it for a while, but only every so often, it's finally gotten real bad. The car runs excellent, but lets say I'm driving at night with a blown fuse and have the lights on. Eventually the battery wears down, and it starts running really rough like the engine isn't getting enough spark which is probably whats happening. Tonight when I was attempting to drive it, I shut the car off replaced the fuse and as soon as I would turn it to accessory it blew.
