Default I need an electrical expert - Backup Camera keeps blowing fuses

I installed a new DD HU a few weeks ago in my 2003 Vert, and the installation went without a hitch. Everything including the backup camera was working great for about two weeks. A few days ago I noticed that it stopped working. When I put it in reverse nothing happens. So, I was poking around threads about backup lights not working and I decided to check the 10AMP fuse on the panel on the passenger side. Fuse was blown. I replaced it and immediately it burned out again.

Any ideas what would cause this to occur suddenly when it was working properly before?

Any suggestions appreciated

Where is the camera grounded? Might be a bad ground.

Check your connections. Is there any wire showing, is it touching anything or are exposed wires touching each other?
