1994 GMC Jimmy electrical problem?

I have a 1994 GMC Jimmy that keeps blowing the instrament panel and gauges fuse. After the vehicle has warmed up for about a half hour the fuse blows then the transmission won't shift all the gauges go out speedometer and odometer included. When i put a new fuse in it blows instantly. I know that their must be a short somewhere but can u tell me where the most common place might be for that to happen. I have already disconnected the rear defogger.

Answer:

Get a toyota. honestly i have no clue.
There are 4 fuses that run the cluster I need to know witch fuse is blowing to be helpful
Most common place is under the dash.
You have most likely lost a ground wire somewhere. If you don't have the system grounded, then the return current takes the path of least resistance and blows fuses. Your lights will flash from dim to bright, and will generally give you headache. Also, if the trailer plug you installed is wired incorrectly, then it causes problems. Remember, on the plug it is green for your right turn and stop, the yellow for the left turn and stop, the brown for tail lights and running lights, and the white is ALWAYS the ground. If you made the most common mistake, you wired the green as ground, which is true in house wiring, but not auto wiring.
hmmmmmmmm.does it have a digital cluster? dumb q ,but correct fuse size is being put back in? i would need the owners manual or a repair manual to find ALL components that run off that fuse.i have replaced some clusters,but not for blowing fuses.will get back to you.my email is open
