Sounds like a short. One of cables you have disconnected may still be live. This is probably earthing out occasionally on the chassis when vibrating or something. Either that or where you have re-connected feeds back, you have not insulated them correctly and again, it shorting on something. Worth going over everything you have done To see if anyything obvious is at fault.

Which fuses are blowing ? And you say wires taped up which wires? What together ? Sounds like above a short, have you still got voltage to switchs ? Did the fuses keep blowing before you messed with the wiring for extra fogs (i guess ) and jammers
