This is gonna be a little hard to understand, but please try to help me. all of the aftermarket gauges will be on in my car, and the headlights will be on, but when i turn the dash (speedometer, tach) on, the fuse blows. i took the dimmer out, and bypassed it and the same thing still happened. any suggestions?? thanks,

Brent

try putting a bigger fuse in, your gauges and everything now is probably drawing more AMPs now, and if i am correct, the current should be evenly distributed so when you put in a bigger fuse, it should work, if its 10A fuse, just trya 15 n see if you have ne problems.
HOWEVER, fuses are meant to blow if it is drawing too mu;ch current, just try a bigger fuse and if u smell somthing burning, you didnt hear it from me lol
