You can get original replacement connectors. That would be the first thing to try. Blowing a fuse all the time is a short, power running to ground.

I would replace the coil pack and connector. The packs are robust, but what else could be drawing all that current?
Yep, good point, the coils can be tested, or look to see something obvious like a crack and carbon tracks around the tower that run to a ground.
