Gauge cluster fuse keeps blowing...irritating
As the title says, my 15 amp METER fuse under the dash keeps popping. As far as I can tell, it seems to do it when the cooling fans kick on. Is this a common problem? I can most likely remedy this by running the cooling fans to a different power source which I was thinking about doing when I install my new fans anyway. There are a ton of things running on that fuse, it seems like a poor setup from the factory. I would think that the fans alone would need a 15 amp fuse at least.

Bump
My car is still doing this. Does anyone have any ideas? There doesn't appear to be any bad wiring up to that fuse. It's only happening around 195* coolant temps which is why I think it's caused by the fans kicking on, but it doesn't do it every time. Sometimes though, it will blow two or three in a row, then go a few days without blowing any, then do it again. I'm completely puzzled.
