10A Gauge fuse blowing repeatedly (1996 Grand Voyager)
I've got a 1996 Grand Voyager. We've had a lot of rain lately and my wife recently drove through some high water, and the 10A fuse in the "Gauges" slot blew out when she did.
I changed the fuse, but as soon as I cranked the van, the same fuse blew again. I went through a dozen or so fuses with the same result. That 10A fuse blows every time. Unfortunately, without the gauges, the automatic transmission won't shift out of 1st. So I'm basically stuck in the driveway until I can figure out what's blowing this thing. Any ideas?

Is this fuse inside on the junction block (fuse panel) or under the hood in the PDC (fuse panel)?

It's the panel inside the van. I did check the panel under the hood as well, and those fuses are all fine.

The players - instrument cluster, Body Control Module (BCM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS). That fuse supplies power to all of these components.
Disconnect each, one at a time and see if the fuse survives when you turn on power. Inspect the connections for moisture, dry with a hair dryer. When checking the TCM disconnect the battery before disconnecting and reconnecting it's connections. The TCM is bolted to the passenger side fender wall under the hood. The TRS connector is on the front right of the transmission. The BCM won't have any contamination, but an external circuit could have effected it. It's on the back of the junction block. Start with the TRS and the TCM. Easiest to get at and most likely to have been effected by water. How deep was the water she drove through? Do you have the 4 speed transmission?

Yes, it's a 4-speed transmission.
I wasn't with her when she drove through it, but from the place she said it happened, the water would have been higher on the passenger side than on the driver side. It wasn't high enough to get inside the van, but it was probably close. TCM sounds like it's in the right spot to have gotten thoroughly soaked.
