Angry Fuse Keeps blowing

YEa i had my check engine light come on and read 5 codes out of the blue. IT read o2 sensor, trans range sensor, and my EVAP system. I replcaed my o2 sensor and cleaned my neutral switch(because my reverse lights wouldn't come on) and i finallly looked at the fuse panel inside my 2001 XJ it was fuse number 10 and it was blown. I put another one in and it blow again, so i was wondering if anybody has any suggestion

Try to find out what else is on that circiut, it could be as siple as a component failed/shorted i don't believe that it is a ground issue because a circuit with an open ground will not work and will not usually blow fuses. Maybe this will help!
