interior light fuse keeps blowing???

95 max yesterday i noticed my interior light fuse keeps blowing everytime i replace it and turn on the light switch at night. it is labeled int. illu on the fuse panel under the dash. i tried searching but no luck, so i replaced the dimmer switch, and the fuse, but it still blows, all other lights, headlight, fogs, door lights, maplights and a/c lights work. the cluster, shifter, and power window switch lights dont work without that fuse working. only thing i did to the cluster is add sum green led lights, and jus added sum fog lights, but the leds were installed months ago, so i dont kno why the fuse keeps blowing.

something is grounding out and causing the fuse to pop.


What kind of fogs did you add ,and how did you wire them up?

Maybe one of the leds you put in the cluster shorted. Take them out and see if the fuse still blows.

Yah u may be right man, a few weeks ago, one of the cluster lights went out on one side, but I didnt pay any attention to it, then a few days ago, i noticed on one side of the cluster, the lights would brighten and dim on and off. So i guess Ill have to remove it and see whats going on.
