Everytime I turn my car on after I put in a new 10A meter fuse that controls everything on my instrument cluster and my automatic seatbelts it blows. Any ideas?

thats gonna be a headache. You have a short somewhere and you'll probably have to take the dash out and check all the wires.

First if you have an Ohm meter(resistance tester) check the resistance between each side of where you put the fuse and ground. The side that gives you no resistance is the one that has the short. Then you'll have to go step by step through all the circuits/wires on that side of the fuse. Thats the only way I know.
Hopefully someone gives a better answer, good luck.

The seatbelts may be at fault. Take it to the dealer. If it is the seatbelts they fix them for free.

Most likely, some wire is touching that wire and giving it too much power to cause the fuse to blow. Don't you just hate electical probs If ya wanna do it yourself get a ohm meter definitely. Just remember to set it to high ampere and test, then set to low ampere, you dont want to blow the ohm meter fuse hehe..i know i did that a bunch of times in my auto electricity class

oh yeah...is htat the right amp fuse for that particular circuit? j/w

Yes it is. However it would work for a few mins then it would jus stop. Then I put in a 20A and it worked for alot longer but this time when it stopped working it never started working again

I am having the same problem now, I just installed a new cd player in my car and im pretty sure i know the reason now, i hooked up the battery wire(or the wire that is always hot even when the key is not in on ACC or ON) to the wire that only is hot when the key is on, but the weird thing is the cd player only works that way, but i think that is what caused the problem.

some tester require you to put it on 200 ohms thats where it beeps if theres any shortbridge
