I'm blowing the blinkers/reverse light fuse 10 amp. It also controls the gauge cluster and the clock.
Can't figure it out!!!

Is it blowing fuses or melting them? In other words, is it an amperage problem or a resistance problem. They are different. Do the fuses blow immediately or does it take a couple days?

Humm, not sure, I'll look into it.
If its blowing immediately then you have a short to ground. I'd pull the bulbs out look at the sockets. If that's not it unhook everything on that circuit and add back one thing at a time.
If you have a meter check for continuity with the power off.

Like oldblueaccord said it sounds like a short because it is an instant blow.

Will keep looking into it, thanks!
Re: Keeps blowing fuse
Dead short for sure. Ground a test light to 12 volt positive & probe the positive back in the circuit to find the short. Dis-connecting connections in the circuit works great too!. Good DVM & test leads are handy.

Is the cigarette lighter on that circuit? It is somewhat common to drop a coin in the base of it and it blows fuses right away. If you aren't looking for it, it can be hard to spot.
excellant advice
also aftermarket radios seem to have a lot of extra wire behind them that can get caught up in the HVAC control stuff, if its radio memory in that circuit I would look there if that sounds applicable.
duz the radio die as well?
thats the first place to look if you are blowing reverse lamp or park light fuses.
do you have trailer light plug? check that out as well if you do
