Default #5 fuse keeps popping

All of a sudden the #5 fuse that controls my cruise control and a O2 sensor I think, it keeps popping. My truck is a 95 F150 XLT 5.0 automatic. I've tried googling this issue and only thing I keep coming across is a pressure switch at the end of the brake booster that will fail or gets dirty easy. So I cleaned it with some contact cleaner but fuse popped right away. Anyone know of the solution ? Its a 15 amp fuse btw.

I don't have my manual in front of me, but google repeatedly turns up air bag fuse in slot 5. Looks like fuse 13 is for speed control....Cruise control? Fuse E under hood should be the O2 sensor(s).

In the diagram it would be the F spot for right stop trailer lamps.

Check your trailer pig tail and harness under the rear bumper.

Cruise Control Amplifier/Modulator or check it's connections. That's where I would start.

Is the cable on the throttle body securely attached? They have a plastic "button" that connects it to the throttle control and plastic degrades over time, even faster when extreme heat and cold are thrown in the mix.
