Bought with no issues at all. # days later this happens and has been on going, when i turn the running lights on. very first turn of the module. the interior lights, aftermartet gauges. radio stock gauges and running tail lights shut off and the fuse blows. well uped the fuse size, dash smoked, tore it apart and fixed a fried wire, worked for a week.... same problem again, blows fuses then fixed itself for a week and now it started making a long extended solid like beeping once i turn the ignition key into the ON position with the headlights on, then they flicker and blow the fuse.... anything before i pull half the dash and all my gauges?
 
You are going to need some fuses for this so go out and buy some. The best approach in this situation is to pull each component one by one, do the easiest to get to first. Your having problems with the interior lights, aftermartet gauges. radio stock gauges and running tail lights. You are going to have to isolate which components are causing this problem, so to do this troubleshooting your going to have to isolate which circuit it is that is causing the problem(s).

There is no easy way around this but, you have to narrow down the circuit that is causing the fuse to burn out. Like I mentioned, start with the easiest to remove or disable first then eventually since it takes a week for the fuse to blow, you will find out which component it is causing the fuse to burn out.

My best estimate you will know in 5 weeks or less what is causing the problem with blowing out the fuse. Soon as you find out what circuit it is, then you can tear it apart and inspect all the wiring, connectors and grounds to that particular circuit. Sorry there is no easy answer or a quick fix for electrical problems that burn out the fuse.
 
I fixed the issues. I had a buddy help me rip out the dash and inspect some wires and the repair job i previous did wasnt down far enough and the wire fried out more the more i used the lights. so we just cut the wire was back into the harness and put new wire in place and so far so good. Now to fix the starting problems!
