meter fuse

ok so i have a 91 rx7 that has been converted in to 5 speed so weeks ago at the mall the meter fuse blew. i put new one in and it went fine. little bit later it did it again. 4 days ago it happened and i blew 5 fuses now it sits in drive way and wont hold a fuse at all so i looked and noticed that people say its mainly the back up switch well the 2 switches that are on tranny are not hooked up at all but the wires are there. so what do i need to check. i dont know were these wires go. what dose this fuse controll and where are these things? thanks

It controls a little of everything - gauges, cruise control, heater and, as you mentioned, back up light. You have a short somewhere - probably a worn through wire that is connecting the chassis ground somewhere. Look at the wires that are "hanging loose" and make sure that they don't have any exposed metal.
