Ford Mustang: Console light fuse keeps blowing

Cameron,

The first thing you need to do is double check each and every wire
connection in the circuit. I suggest replacing bulbs, as melted bulb
filament can and will cause the fuse to blow over and over again. While
this is rare, it does happen................From there, I would be
looking at the way everything else is wired in to your dash and fuse
panel, as you might have a wire that has melted or come lose, and that
is now causing your other circuit to blow...................Electrical
fires in cars are not something you ever want to experience, trust me on
that one.....................

I did not realize that a messed up bulb would cause this.

I forgot to mention that once I unhooked the boost gauge the battery
indicator was normal before the fuse blew again. Im pretty sure that the
wireing was messed and maybe touching metal in the boost gauge, so maybe it
botched the wire or bulb on the parking lite that i wired it to.

I'll be checking that bulb and wire first thing today :-) Hopefully it will
be easy to pinpoint. Ive seen car fires and they arent pretty. I have a
little fire extinguisher, but i seriously doubt you could grab that thing
and do anything with it in time.
