Default 12 volt cranking/run hot

I've searched and I've come up with nothing, though I might've searched the wrong fields. I bought electronic autometer fuel, boost and wideband gauges for my TA. I got the gauges all hooked up and functioning, but when the car cranks the hot circuit I used in the interior fuse panel looses hot and the gauges re sweep after startup. The problem doesn't affect the WB or FP gauges but it does give me an inaccurate vac reading due to the recalibration after the engine starts. I'm reading about 11in/hg. With a mechanical vac gauge hooked up I read a steady 19in/hg. I need to find a source to keep the gauge powered through start up and when in the on position.

Thanks Jason

The GAUGES fuse is hot in run, bulb test and start conditions of the ignition.
