Default Instrument lights fuse keeping blowing...help?

I've blown 3 fuses already just trying to figure out what could be causing it to blow and I still can't figure it out. The fuse would be okay when I would replace it. Then once the car sits for awhile and I start it...I turn on my headlights and the instrument lights aren't on...I check the fuse and it is blown again.

Any ideas? My tailights are working if that matters.

TIA

check for an open wire. Obviously there is a ground out somewhere.

check behind your radio? did this start happening after you put a new radio in?
maybe a cb? anything that has to do with the illumination wires? possibly fog lights?

This started happening after I took out my amp and sub. I then put it back in and thats when this started happening. Maybe the ground for the amp is loose? I have fog lights and it was okay before this. The only thing I can think of is the sub and amp recently. I'll check them all out.

Thanks guys
