2. Damaged Wiring: Check for any damaged or frayed wiring in the instrument panel or near the gauge cluster.

3. Short Circuit in Ignition Switch: A faulty ignition switch can cause a short circuit and blow the gauge fuse.

4. Problems with Voltage Regulator: A faulty voltage regulator can cause voltage spikes that can blow the fuse.

5. Overloaded Circuit: If there are too many accessories or devices connected to the fuse-protected circuit, it may overload and blow the fuse.
