Default Whole buncha problems, Fuse keeps blowing, Tach, lights dont work. Help please!!! lotsa sundden elec

Hey guys i have a crap load of problems all of a sudden on my car. First of all its a 95 Integra RS. I have a clifford alarm on it. Everything worked perfect till about a week ago, when i pressed my alarm button i noticed that the lights dont flash when the doors open and close, then my taillights and my interior dash lighst all just went out. I though oh its no problem ill just change the fuse. So i did and it started working then about 15 minutes into it the fuse burned again. This has happened to 3 fuses already and i cant figure out wtf is going on. And now i got another problem. The needle on my tach goes crazy, it either drops all the way stops working then it starts up works fine and then it will start jumping up and down and show that im going like 100mph when im standing still and the bad thing is that the milage meter keeps going so it thinks that im driving the car even when im not. Please help me out because i cant drive the car at nights now since people from behind cant see me. If you can tell me which wires behind the fuse box i need to check or if you have a little diagram or something. I need all the help i can get. Thanks

Which fuse did you replace? There should be some fuses on the brain of your alarm, and/or one that runs from the power wire(from battery) to the brain. Check those too. Sounds like you have a short somewhere. Make sure none of the connections came loose.

Did you have the alarm recently put on by someone, if so, bring it back to them. Let them sort through the problems for you.

dont use a stronger fuse than what is recommended. you can do more damage that way. you might have a ground wire causing the shorts.

if you power multiple acessories off anything in the dash its gonna draw more pwr. i had to throw in a bigger fuse since i was drawing too much pwr for the oem fuse. rewire evrything and make sure you dont have a open short.

hmm, i just dont wanna put on a bigger fuse and burn up some other stuff you know, cause it worked perfect for the past 4-5 months. Also i found out that my radiator was leaking and it was dripping on some of the wires so i changed the position of the wires so i dotesnt drip and now my speedometer seems to be workinng normal. Knock KNock KNock.
