Fuses are installed to prevent damage to parts that are electrically downstream. There may be a short in your wiring causing the fuses to go. Until you find the short you will keep blowing fuses. Check the resistance between the fuse and the device with an ohmeter if you can. To do this;
1.disconnect your battery
2.remove your dash instrument cluster
3.check wiring diagram in your shop manual to check wich wire supplies power to it
4.unplug the connector
5.then check the resistance from the side of the fuse holder that goes to the cluster with the power wire at the connector. It should be zero or very low.
If it isn't you probably have a short in the wire. If it is you may have a problem with the wiring in the cluster.
You can also get under your dash and physically examine the wiring.
