What is your definition of "short out" . Off the top of my head,
those items are not on one fused circuit. I'd recheck for correct
connections behind the dash and look for wires that are crushed between say
the dash panel & frame. If more than 1 fuse blows, I'd replace one at a
time & see what combination causes them to blow.

I ran into simular problems when I replaced my wiring harness. Trouble
turned out to be a bent tab on the ignition switch connector (the one on
top
on the column under the dash). A tab was pushed up (or down) and not
making
connection. Caused wired stuff.. Unless you can see physical damage or
serious degredation on your harness (splices etc) I'd bet it is
ok....Check
all your connections and also make sure you have good (several) grounds..
If you want to replace anyway,, M&H makes good stuff.. Denny
