No issues with fuse so far after backing out the screws. Purely coincidence or are the screws coming in contact with anything electrical? I don't know but it hasn't popped so I've just left it alone.

Perhaps put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the load. You could try one of those add-a-fuse things to make the fuse a little more accessible so you can get the ammeter more easily into the circuit. It could be that the previous owner added something to the circuit thus increasing the load too close to the fuse rating. If you are close to 5 amps on a 5 amp fuse, you could put in a slightly larger fuse - say 7.5A. Don't go any larger than that. If the problem is a short, it will blow the 7.5 amp fuse pretty quick.

It typically pops in 3-4 weeks or even as soon as I change it so this is the longest it has gone, it's just annoying to have to check my tail lights every time at night
