The fuse for the dome light, speedo and radio.
I just pulled out the radio and still did it, so I think that crosses the radio out. Anyone have any ideas? There are no aftermarket electrtonic things on it, i checked all wiring everywhere!

Is there something specific that make the fuse pop? I had the same issue with my blinkers and break lights.every time I pushed the clutch pedal the fuse would. Pop. I had and exposed wire that was grounding out against the top of my clutch pedal.

Not even sure. Yesterday, just sitting there, it was blowing them. There was smoke coming everytwhere. I know, its probably a short, short to ground, loose wire etc. But im checking if this was a common problem lol
Im gonna look at the wiring diagram today from all data, hopefully i can figure it out.
