"Blowing" FusesWithout seeing and trouble shooting your vehicle no one can tell you where a short is in an electrical circuit. The key to this repair is to find/identify the short. Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse, and replacement fuses, repeatedly blow, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short. Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect [in this case a short], and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse].
What else can I help you with?
Why is the tail running and dash lights not working on a 96 vw cabrio?
I had this problem with a '92 Saturn and it was because i blew a fuse. I am not sure which fuse it was as it was about 6 yrs ago, but you should check your fuses and see if any are blown. I know it sounds rediculous that the tail running lights and the dash lights are connected by the same fuse. Sorry I cannot give you a more detailed answer

Dash lights and tail tight inop on 93 suburban but the brake and turn signals work its not the fuse under the dash?
A short in the tail light circuit. Brake and turn are on another circuit. Dash light power is fed from the tail light fuse to the dimmer switch and on to the dash lights. Look for a short in the tail light wiring circuit. Also check the license plate light for a short as it is on the tail light circuit also. Had a car with blown fuse, traced the circuit for tail lights and found nothing. Jumped the fuse and burned out the wiring to the tail lights. Come to find out, the short was in the license plate light. Also a bad headlight switch can cause this. Both tail light circuit and headlight circuit go through the switch. Contacts for the tail lights may be bad (defective switch common).
