The only problem I had with he marker lights were grounds. Are the
hots/nots in the right order? The fuse is blowing because something is
backwards... OR it could be drawing too much current, or have too much
of a load on the fuse. My circuit seems to handle a set of trailer
lights and the compliment of rear Van lights perfectly well.

Good luck -
