Replace fuse and will keep the dash working sometimes while driving it blows, at times when replacing the fuse with everything shut down to blows. I was looking at recalls and a clock spring jumper wire can cause issues but does not give fuse numbers, so fuse 21 witch makes the dash work keeps blowing.

Good afternoon,

I would disconnect the cluster and see if the fuse still fails.

I attached the fuse diagram for you. Looks like the cluster is your failure.
