However, new fuses really don't do that ever. Has the car been worked on before this happened? New radio? Does the battery drain at all?
FUSE BLEW again. Its a 1o amp fuse on the under dash fuse box labeled INST.

It happened the fist time when I punched the accelerator to the floor to avoid a collision. It happened again yestesday when a friend took is out for a fun ride--How can you not "try to see what is the acceleration" on a car like this?

What's causing the instrument fuse to pop when the accelerator is punched?
