Ip dimmer blows .
I have been having an issue with my speedo lights . I have replaced fuses which fixes it for a minute or so then blows out fuse. I didn't mess with anything prior to issue. Any advice or help what to look into is greatly appreciTed.

im having this problem too. the dimmer fuse blows with in one minute. I tired putting a 10A fuse in (dash lit up for a second), and the brake light fuse blew. Probably not a good idea. Replaced that fuse, and back to where I was. The actual dimmer switch isn't the problem because the lights on the steering wheel adjust when I use the dimmer. The radio lights work now though, even when the lights are on (after trying the 10A fuse and blowing the tail light fuse).
I'm thinking there is a short to ground somewhere. I have no clue where to look though. Help!

First thing I want y'all to do is this:
1. Pull off trim ring around gauges.
2. Take out your dimmer switch
3. Take a screwdriver and pop off the little metal clips on the sides of the switch. This will let you open it up and look at the circuit board. If the board is broken, that will make your fuses pop like corn.
