Greetings. Lol so as the title says the dome fuse keeps blowing after turning off the car or somtimes it would blowout when turning the ignition to on or start. I just dropped in a new motor and im pretty sure the grounds and wires are correct. The car didnt start but it was because of a short, i found the short and fixed it. The car starts but when i turn off the car the fuse blows out. After replacing the fuse i let the car warm up and went for a drive, it drove fine and smooth but then the car started blobbing and then the dash lights shut off. So the fuse blew again and i replaced it. I kept blowing out fuses untill i had to buy a brand new battery and luckly it got me home and the fuse didnt blow out untill i shut off the car. I can link a video of the 1st start and what happened here http://youtu.be/o3yfmGG8oZc I was going to just take out the harness anyway and check for shorts, redo the wires but i just thought id ask for help anyways. I am going to work on it this weekend.

Alright so it turns out the fuse kept blowing was because of a blown alternater relay, thats fixed but now the GAUGE fuse keeps blowing when i put the car in reverse. So my rpm, temp,windows, heat/ac , etc , and oil pressure gauge wouldnt work but i can still drive the car and start it. I must have a short somehwere else too. If anyone can help with a reverse wire or diagram that would be nice but i will also look it up ,One problem after another.

I watched the video you posted. What has changed since then? Because your description does not match what happens in the video. I need $1500 to go to Des Moines plus per diem and fuel.
