Blown Fuse...again and again.

So, 89 Turbo. about a week ago, I noticed, while driving, that all my gauges went out and the A/C controller was out. Assumed it was a fuse...and it was. Replaced it. Lasted 3 days and blew again. So this time I tear the dash out to try to find a problem. Prior owners had installed a hidden radar detector. Found those wires under the dash to be a major cluster @#$%. Ripped all that shit out, replaced the fuse...good to go...till yesterday. I have had the top off and windows down for 2 weeks. It was about to rain while at work last night, so I go to put the top on, let the windows up and thats when I find out that that fuse is inline with the power windows as well as the gauges and A/C controller. Now, as soon as I put a new fuse in, it blows instantly. Everything else appears to be working on the car, except the front, drivers side marker, which I assume is a blown bulb. I don't have a good electrical diagram of my car. I found some for 79's to 86's and then I found some 92's, but they don't show the power windows on the same circuit as the gauges. Can anyone point me in the right place? A diagram of these circuits and a little knowledge of how to trace the problem and fix it would be great.

Well, you could always break down and buy the book from Toyota. That said the gage fuse powers the window control:

I have no idea what fuse you're talking about. Being inline it sounds like something that was added. If so I'd remove it. If not put a light bulb in place of it. That way you can troubleshoot and not keep going through fuses...
