On the 5033 board there are 4 caps that could make for blowing fuses, these are c3,c4,c7 and c8.
You can find these on any of the 5033 schematics listed in this site's technical listing.
Yank them out and resistance test them for shorts, or if they are getting brown or splitting open from getting hot then just replace them.
C3 does not even need to be in circuit to have the amp work , but there will be a slight hum out of the speaker with that out if the driver's and the rest of the output stage are working.
