Just went through that problem I think? None of my gauges worked except the Speedo.
Probably a short in your reverse switch on your tranny. That is what mine was.

On a 86-88 anyway, that fuse feeds the following circuits:
1) alternator warning light relay (in the CPU)
2) gage cluster
3) back-up light switch & back-up lights
4) warning lights panel
5) CPU, and buzzer
...And the following optional equipment, if you have it:
1) auto trans control unit
2) ABS control unit
3) AAS control switch, unit
4) theft deterrent unit

You messed with any of the above systems recently?

Easiest first troubleshooting step would be to remove the back-up light bulbs, then plug a good fuse back in & see if she blows...If she still blows, get back with us...

ahhh!! not the meter fuse, i battled that m'f'er for months, mine turned out to be the wire to the reverse lights were grounding out on themselves. i've heard alot of people complain that the 5th/reverse switch on the transmission grounding itself.

That one's easy enough to troubleshoot too- just pull the connector apart down there under the car & see if the fuse blows...Cycle the shifter in & out of rev.
