Can a short circuit in a car’s wiring cause a dead battery in the morning?

Recently, the fuse for our power door locks in our car has been blowing out on a regular basis. We finally stopped worrying about it and just started operating the locks manually and leaving the fuse pulled out.

Can this cause a drain on our car’s battery if the fuse is pulled out? I mean, isn’t the fuse there to make sure no current is going the wrong direction? Pardon my ignorance on this one, but I know nothing about automotive wiring.

How can you check to see if the car audio wiring is good and do you need 2 wire harnesses to install a radio?

I’m not sure if the radio wires in my car are good or not. Is there a way to check, and possibly replace, this yourself? Also, when installing a new radio, do you need 2 different wire harness sets? I have all of the wires in my car, plus I have the car specific wire harness. Do I need a radio specific harness as well?
There’s also more than one wire harness set in the car but only one fits the radio?
