Check the wire connections on the back of the fuse block. It they are loose, or corroded it will cause the fuse to get hot, and blow.

Speaking of HOT just turn on key and fill around for warm wires ,
My faring plug got hot had to unwrap the harness to find the right one
but sure enough had currosion in side the plastic coating on the warm one.
(replaced the whole wire)

Great advice
Just goes to show check the easy things first. I was thinking worst case scenario 5 minutes cleaning and it's all good
