Weasel will become famous soon enough
Nothing common so it would take actual diagnosis. I'd start by remembering OHM's law and checking all connections in the circuit, maybe a voltage drop test... If a certain circuit keeps blowing a fuse, there's a reason for it and that is what the tech needs to find. When you talk to the dealer, ask for the shop foreman and explain to him what is happening and request for him to personally assist a master tech with the electrical diagnosis of your vehicle to ensure it is actually properly diagnosed. And suggest he drive it for a day after it is fixed to fully ensure it really is while you're still in their loaner. (yes, we do this at our dealer... to ensure the weird problem vehicles are properly fixed)

maronha is on a distinguished road
Turns out its the connector/wires comming from the themostat which was loose causing a short. SA said they were able to get this to happen in the shop and it did blow the fuse. So the said that they would replace it for us at a cost of $250 which is minus the $415 we spent the day before. They also said I need a radiator(which I already knew). They quoated $1150 to do the stat and radiator but I opted to do the radiator myself. I hope this is the end of this problem.
