A fuse blows from a wire shorted to ground or too much current running through it.

well I would be looking at the wiring for anything aftermarket in the system, such as a radio or the like.

99% of the time where there is a problem it is from something that someone put into the car incorrectly.

Who put in the radio?

well it sounds like your brother really is not good with electronics and that you need to have your radio installed by a professional installer.

There is probably a pinched or shorted wire behind the radio, toss that in with blown fuse and your radio won't work.
