If you're truly blowing the fuse immediately every time, then you have a dead short somewhere. Either in the wire or the winding of the motor. If you can get to the motor, disconnect it and then try the button. If the fuse still blows, your short is in the wire. If not, give the motor a closer look. Locked up or bad winding.

Is it the power Liftgate or power lock that is blowing it?

 

[mr tahoe]

Its just the power lock my truck is an ls non powerd lift gate

Check the lift gate supports. If one or both are bad that is a lot of strain on the motor and could blow the fuse. I had the same thing happen on my Highlander

Wait, which button? On the liftgate?

The long thing that has a button in the middle under the license plate the one that opens the whole gate and not just the glass / struts are working fine
