DASH HAS A SHORT CIRCUIT.DASH NEED REPLACING BUT CHECK FOR SHORTS IN THE WIRES TO DASH.DONT PUT A LARGER AMP FUSE IN A CIRCUIT TO KEEP FROM BLOWING FUSE BECAUSE IF FUSE DONT BLOW WIRES GET HOT IN THE CIRCUIT THAT HAS A SHORT IN IT AND CAUSE A CAR FIRE.

Check wire harness between driver door and body for broken wires.Wire harness bends , when door opens and closes so it may brake the wire or two inside harness.

Sound simple but you have a short in the circuit. Unless u have knowledge & wiring diagrams of the car......DONT TOUCH IT. Take it in

try the 10 amp fuse or even the 15 amp,good luck

Fuses are located by the side of the dash board when you open the driver's door. The fuel pump fuse is situated in there.
