sounds like you have a short to ground in your acc wire. that will cause the fuse to blow.

Does it blow the fuse if you have the Sony radio unplugged?

i just installed a new deck yesterday.

make sure you are getting power from the +12 volt accessory wire (BLUE)

this is the main power input to the unit. it is active only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON position.
