You have a dead short somewhere. I had a similar problem tracing a blowing fuse as soon the key was inserted. It was a '13 F150 3.5 twin turbo. I traced back what the owner did to fix two codes. He replaced two parts, coil on plug and cam sensor, from a 3.5 Mazda!! The sensor was easy to find from a receipt and box part number. The coil pack was harder. I unplugged all the coil packs. After inserting they key, the fuse didn't blow. I knew I was close. So plugging one at a time with the replaced coil last. On that last one, the fuse popped. I pull it to check resistance and compare it to an original. Well, the new coil pack had a two prong connection. The original a three prong connection. The original coil pack was installed. The problem causing a misfire was a bad plug.
Follow the same steps. Unplug all the non working items. Using a new fuse, plug in one item at a time. Eventually, you'll find the short. Either a wire, connection, or item are bad. Check all your grounds. Add more too. Check the ECM ground. Engine to frame. Engine to body. Battery to frame. Battery to engine.
