Was the disconnect switch in "connected" mode when you blew that last fuse? To further narrow it down, first try with it in "disconnected" mode. Then you will know if it's the wire from the battery to the switch or from the switch to the panel, or maybe even the switch itself (if it's mounted to something grounded).
If there's a short on your battery cable, it will pull the whole 12V system down and/or blow fuses in the 120V to 12V converter so fixing problem 1 will probably fix both.
When I put fuse in, battery switch was disconnected. No problem there - all was good. As I pulled the switch out (to connect battery) I heard it pop.
Does that mean it's wire from battery to switch?
Thanks wnjj for your help!!
If it didn't pop until you pulled the switch, that means the wire from the battery to the switch is good and the one from the switch to the panel isn't. If you want to be sure it isn't the switch itself somehow, disconnect the wire from the switch (the one heading toward the panel). If pulling the switch with only the battery wire connected still pops the fuse, it's the switch itself. Otherwise it's the wire you disconnected.
