Default Need an electrical demon exorcist! Or an electrician on electrical engineer!

This has been going on and off for the past couple of months, gauge cluster lights stop working, shifter lights stop working, put a new fuse in and it works again until it decides to blow again. Well tonight I was getting ready to leave work and it does it again, so I go back in to the building, grab a new fuse, put it in and it blows it immediately, try it again with another new fuse and blows that one immediately. So I get home, dissasemble the dash looking for loose wires or a burnt up wire, couldn't find anything. Just out of curiousity (sp) I check and see if the blinkers work, of course they don't work now. I checked the fuse for the blinkers and it's not blown. Anyone had a similar problem like this? This car's really starting to **** me off, if/when I get it fixed I think that I'm going to be using the bitch for a down payment on something new! [:@][:@][:@]

if the blinkers dont work, then you might have a short in the ingition switch. cause when my blinkers didnt work, i had a short in my ignition switch. this all happened after i got my ignition switch changed.

I wish that I had the money for a nice set of heads. I was planning on pulling the top end of the motor in about two weeks and P&P the E7's, add a TF stage 1 cam and put new springs in. But this is really kinda getting me down.
