When an intermittent messes up my EFI car, I solder 2 wires 
to the blown fuse, and run them to one of those miniature plug 
in circuit breakers.  At it least it comes right back after a fault. 
If it gets permanent, you can trace it down.

Another way to find it is divide it into multiple circuits, each 
with their own temporary fuse. When one fuse blows, divide
that circuit down (combine the others) till there is only one 
thing left.
