Default Electrical Short

Hey guys. How's the holiday season going? I have a little ... I say litte it's kind of important ... issue with me 97 xlt expedition. A small 5 amp fuse constantly blows when I shift my truck into drive. The fuse controls the instrument panel electrical circuit and the trailor brake circuit if I am not mistaken. I did a little expirament by starting the truck with a new fuse in it, and the instrument panel works properly. I also pressed the brakes and it continued to work properly, so I figure it's not the trailor brake circuit that it causing the problem. I also thought that it was possible that the overdrive switch may be shorting out the system also, so I disconnected the switch and the problem still occurs. So I am driving with no speedometer, tacometer, and no gas guage. So any help on this would be great. thanks a lot guys ... happy holidays

Jordan
