Im not certain what you mean by autmatic shutdown fuse.
But with anything electric a blown fuse means that it drew too many amps and is usually a indication of one of 2 things.
Either something was added to the system such as a stereo system with a huge amp or a developing short circuit.
The short could be coming from a failing component and a wiring diagram would be required to see exactly what is running on that circuit.
