dead battery after 2 days

i have a fuse that pops as soon as i replace it. is this what could be causing my drain? if i trace wires and find something will this correct my problem?i have almost replaced the whole wiring system in this truck so it is the last thing i can think of that is causing my problems. i think the fuse is for my insturment lights but they work so maybe not. i dont have the correct fuse block indicator.

Find out what the fuse runs, and check each component.

Use this method to check for drains. Pull each fuse till the light goes out, or pull the alt wires off and see if the light goes out.
