Is that After unplugging it, and plugging the fuse in with the power off and no keys in the ignition?
I would had guesses one or the other....column wires or heater.
Other than that....check your wiring well.... which fuse (and whats it power) is it that's blowing again, according to your manual?

I had the same thing happen about two months ago.. I chased everything down. Every plug, fuse and relay on the fender-well.
just as i was gonna give up, I totally unplugged the main wire harness to the motor on the right driver side valve cover and plugged it back in..
That worked and it stopped blowing fuse's. The first time i just wiggled that plug.. Totally unplug it and replug and try.. I dont know why it did it but who knows..
If i remember right also.. That same fuse powers the fuel pump. crawl under and unplug the fuel pump wire and see if it still blows the fuse when you turn the key on... Just a thought...

Fuse 116 has a few things on it, fuel bowl heater is most common to go but a chafed wire going to ground anywhere on that circuit will blow the fuse again. As said above the main harness near the 42 pin connector can rub on the valve cover and short, good place to start looking. Keep the fuel bowl heater unplugged to rule that out. Good luck!

OP, Check out the wiring harness on the driver's side valve cover, right under the air intake hose. (10mm bolt to remove the harness) It's a common place for the wires to rub through and chafe on the valve cover, causing a short.
Good Catch guys!
