2001 F150 keeps blowing Fuse f15

All,
Got a tough one to troubleshoot. My F150 2001 4x4 truck blows the 5 amp fuse (f 15) while setting overnight. This locks out the Gear shift (auto). when I replace the fuse it will start and everything works but when it sets for a couple hours or overnight it blows the fuse again. I have looked for pinched wires or anything obvious but nothing that I can Find. Can't figue out why it happens over time setting. Do you guys have any thoughts?

smilieIagree smiliewhathesaid I would be looking at the GEM, that looks like the only thing using power all the time. The BPP switch would need to be pressed to complete the ckt, which also gives a signal to the ABS.
