Default ARGH!!! Blowing fuses for dash gauges

So, thanks to CL i figured out where the fuse box for the gauge cluster is. (THANK YOU SEARCH BUTTON) But i will replace the fuse there and it'll work for awhile, and then when i turn off the car, and come back in a while later it'll blow again. I'm not very good at electronic wiring and stuff, so is there anyone else out there that has had this same problem where it'll blow it constantly, but not immediatly after replacing the fuse??

Thanks

Vincent

I would suspect one of your modifications is wired incorrectly to the dash guages for it's power.
This is more than likely an audio component...

that's waht i would have thought too, but all that's been in there for more then a month, except for the navigation, which has been in there for about 2 weeks. and this has happened only within the last 3 days.

and it doesn't happen all the time, once a day, but it will work awhile then blow the fuse.

likely one of the wires for the navi or a wire from the audio that was recently moved in the navi install is touching metal and the heat has made it melt through so it can ground. Check all wires. Couls also be a related ground, but not likely.
