Yes, it's the 5 amp, # 28 fuse. I am having the same problem as stated by the person before. Mine will run fine for 20 minutes, but as soon as I start to drive the car and hit the slightest bump, the fuse blows again. I've tried taking the AC Headunit out and making sure all the connections were snug, and no wires were stripped of their casing etc. Any idea's?

This could be the head unit itself, measure the current flow at rest and if > 4 amps, replace the head unit.
