power seat fuse keeps blowing

[smither109]

1997 riv keeps blowing fuses. took out the original 25a circuit breaker as it was getting extremly hot and actually melted part of the fuse block cleaned that up and i think its ok. I did find a bare wire on the passanger seat that had rubbed over the years and repaired that. Both seats are out and i see nothing obvious. I can hook up either seat with the other one still out and it blows the fuse each time. This all started when i hit a big puddle of water, the lights flickered, then the seat problem started the very next day. Any help, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much

there is probably a stripped hot wire contacting ground... shorting out and blowing the fuse somewhere, a common issue.
