Anyway, I tried twice to replace with a 5 amp fuse, and it blew within seconds. I then tried with an 8 amp and it was the same story.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

All of the above suggestions are good.

Yellow=5A
White=8A
Red = 16A
Blue = 25A

Black fuse ????

Here is the circuit for our '86.

It may/may not close to your model/year.

I fused our dash lights with a 3A fuse
next to the headlight switch.
Along with the footwell blowers (10A),
the front condenser blower (8A),
the evaporator relay (10A),
and added headlight relays.

You may pm me.
