Impatient people: skip next two paragraphs.

Here's the story... This 94 XJ SE sat in a driveway for a year. I tried to start it, and the 4 cyl fired right up, no problem. Actually I had to jump it... but anyway, the dash lights didn't work. Fuse #19. I replace it. I then pull the dash cover off to fix the radio, and when I turn the Jeep back on, fuse 19 is out. I put it off for a while. I didn't really need to know how fast I was going... and I could pretty well judge by the sound of the engine anyway.

Anyway, last week I was replacing the blower motor, and I figured, hey- why not take 15 seconds and replace the fuse? That night as I was leaving work, I pull out the switch... LIGHTS! Like a monochrome Christmas tree! As I pulled out of the parking lot, *pop* no more lights. The idiot lights and gages still work, but no instrument lights.

Long story short, what would cause the instrument light fuse to blow over and over again?

Thanks ahead of time...
