This is the starter fuse I am talking about. It doesn't blow every time. It might go weeks before it blows again.
The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.
Dead short to ground in either: Parking lights or sockets Tail lights or sockets Dash lights or sockets
There is a 5A fuse #21 and 15A fuse #5.
Probably have a short in tail light or license plate light. It could also be a bad bulb. If bulb, see sources and related links below for bulb information.
Fuses blow because there is too much current. This is typically caused by a short circuit, but it can also be caused by too much load, perhaps from adding extra lights. It is also possible that corrosion on the fuse connector can cause heat, which would also tend to blow the fuse. Check each of the light assemblies and make sure the bulbs are OK and that the wiring is not crimped, cut, or corroded. Sometimes, a wiring harness may go around the edge of a piece of metal and the insulation gets cut, causing a short circuit. It is also possible that the turn signal switch is bad.

There must be a short in the system somewhere that causes the fuse to blow.
There are many different fuses and relays in Taurus, we need to know which for answer.
If the fuse won't fit then you have the wrong size fuse. They make several different sizes and amps.

The fuel pump relay on a 1999 Taurus is in the fuse box under the hood. It is in the second row down, the last relay to the right.
to many plugs in at once or old circuits ECT.
The 1999 Ford Taurus Owner Guide shows : In the fuse box in the passenger compartment : Fuse # 33 is a 5 amp fuse for the power windows , lock illumination ( And in the power distribution box located in the engine compartment # 33 is the A/C clutch diode )

Need to know which 20 Amp fuse is blowing.
