What time frame are we talking hours, days or weeks?
You should check all the other fuses after checking the fuse #9, put a digital voltmeter set to Ma across the two terminals that the fuse connects. There are posts on this.
Add up all the readings, there is a number (35 Ma) that this should not exceed, I think that is the number mentioned in the link. Some fuses will have no reading and others a small amount which keeps the memory alive etc in some accessories or parts.
