Welcome to the forums.

What is "ramp up" ?

Put the stat in OFF. Try FAN ON first. See if that works.
Try removing the stat and replacing the fuse.

You'll need to disconnect wiring to determine where the short is. Don't put a larger fuse in.

yeah after putting it into the off mode and pulling it off the wall..putting in new fuse..reinstalling it on the wall putting it into heat mode and auto fan...it seems to be holding now... lets hope this solves the problems of the fuse continusouly blowing... the last few days I had the heatpump disconnected and was just running off the elements In the duct... heatpump is reconnected now and fuse hasn't blown sooooooo fingers crossed.. thanks for you help buddy

That would mean that if the short came back it would most likely be in the condensor wiring. Either in the thermostat cable that feeds it from the air handler or inside the unit itself.

You could also have a reversing valve issue. That valve is only energized in A/C mode or defrost mode and those coils can short out.
