The Fuse Monster

My 95 Maxima SE, with its pretty white gage faces haven't been showing lately (about 3 months now) My friend and I installed a new HU and TV with DVD player. We checked our wiring, but nothing even comes close to the dash lights, or as far as I could see. The 7.5A fuse keeps blowing and I put in a 15 just for the heck of it after it blew through a 10. I don't know what it is. Do you guys have any ideas? Any feedback would be appreciated.

You have aftermarket gauge faces?

Where did you tap for your TV/HU/DVD player's power?

Keep in mind that it can damage things if you use a higher amp fuse than what was in there before. Maybe you have a short somewhere?

I was thinking that. But it still works for maybe a second when I put a new fuse in right before it blows. I plugged the power from the HU for the TV. I have stock SE gauge faces.
