Clock and frunk light weren't working. I was able to self diagnose to a blown #11 fuse. Was very proud of myself given my non-technical abilities. Drove over to Main Line Porsche where I picked up two fuses - quick nod to service at main line Porsche. Not only did they give me the fuses at no charge, they threw in a hat for my 6yr old!
Anyway, I put the fuse in and confirmed light was working. Turning out to be a great day. By the time I got home, fuse was blown. Quickly swapped out for the 2nd fuse and it blew before I even snapped it into place. What am I missing here? Have owned this car for over 10yrs and never had a problem with fuses before.

Thanks in advance!

What you are missing is the realization that you have a short somewhere. I'll bet there is a pinched wire in that circuit. Follow the wires back from the fusebox and see what you find.
