Room fuse keeps blowing
wtf? I switch my car on one day and all of a sudden the rom fuse blows, so the tach, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, temp gauge and turn signals don't work (along with the clock). Now every time I try popping in a new fuse it simply blows the fuse as soon as I switch on the car. It's the little 15 Amp fuse closest to the driver on the left side of the fuse box. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Never happened to me, probably somewhere in your dash a soder point or wire has broken and is touching your frame, or another wire, creating a short. This is going to be a pain in the *** to trace, but you'll probably have to take apart your dash and check all the wires. Hopefully somebody here can come up with a better answer. Until then it's hunting time. Good Luck.

Start disconnecting things that are on the circuit, one by one. When you get to one that when removed the fuse no longer blows, you've found the culprit. It could be that device, or it could be some wiring in it's circuit.
