Can you tell me what fuse was blown and I assume the dash lights were not working and you replaced the fuse? Now the same lights are working but will not shut off? Is that the issue that is happening?
If that is the case, we are going to have to make sure removing the same fuse causes the lights to go out.

Once we do all this, we are going to have to find out what is causing this circuit to stay alive.
Basically, a short to power is the typical cause of this so we need to confirm what fuse and then we can start eliminating possible causes.
I am attaching the wiring diagram below which will help with this.
Please let us know and we can go from there.
Thanks
