[WiredWrong]

illuminate fuse 10A , you know I would not mind the dash being out

but its hard wired to the running lights too . I don't do electrical work ;

fuses generally blow because:

1) bad ground/short

2) positive/negative criss-crossed

3) too much power going through them

Is the fuse blowing all the time or only when is raining?

check your radio connections if you have a after martket one could be shorting out or check your cig lighter and make sure nothing is in there shorting it out.

I did have aftermarket radio put in ; hmmm yes ! the cig lighter would cause it to blow , so I ripped it out all together ; two wires taped now any way i'm doing a 90% rip out for the inside so every thing is coming out
