jeff- did it happend to the cluster lights or headunit?..... which wires were smushedd..?
Similiar situation i had but it was when i pressed the brake, the lights would turn on lol when i havent engaged the parker lights.. like the day day time.. very weird... so i found out it was the brake lights that needed replacing... idunooo why lol..

hmmm, sami, well i was relocating my headunit, and one day when i started the car, cluster light, brake light were gone, and i shat myself, took it to the garage they fixed it and said one of the wires behind the headunit were smushed>< not too sure which one, but if u can be bothered, u can try take out ur headunit and take a look, i think he was refering to the power cable one, since from my knowledge that would be the only wire that'll affect the fuse>< the yeelow i, but just my guess ><

If your fuse keeps blowing, then it is most likely the cause of a short circuit somewhere, be it a loose wire or some sort of unwarranted metal on metal contact.

Where should i start looking geeang? or should i just take it to an auto electrician.
Ive tried moving around the wires behind the cluster, cd unit and undernearth were the fuse bux is. No difference :(

It is the dimmer wire that is uninsulated...its been covered a few times buddy.

Pull out your head unit and make sure all wires that are not hooked up are properly insulated.
