Power Seat fuse keeps blowing

I have a 2005 Amanti and the power seat fuse keeps blowing. I took it 75+ miles to an authorized KIA dealer and they said it was just a fuse. I checked the seats before I left the lot and they were working. On my return trip home I probably had gotten 7 or 8 miles from the dealership and heard a beep, checked my power seat controls and they were no longer working. This was the 3rd time the fuse has been replaced. I changed it twice before I took it to the dealer. Because the dealer was closing for the day I couldn't take the car back for them to check again. Now I have to take the car back again and leave it so they can trace the wiring. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, I have had a passenger side low beam headlight blow twice within 6 months. Any ideas? Thanks for any help given.

as far as the seat goes just wait and take it to the dealership. now about the headlights stop touching them with your fingers. the oil on your fingers make the halogen bulbs blow sooner. alot sooner

Thanks TEXKIATECH for the reply. I didn't change the headlight bulbs though. I had them done at the dealership and garage. But I have changed others and I'm aware that the oil from your fingers can cause them to blow quickly. Still I appreciate your reply and may need more of your advice in the future. Would still like to find out if anyone is having the same problem with the power seat fuse.
