Cluster light fuse keeps blowing
If you tap off the tan coming off the dimmer, there is NO fuse protection other than the tail light fuse which feeds that circuit. I see no reason to do that. You are not "leaving the stock circuit alone" if you are tapping off anything in the car LOL
Tap off the orange(s) in the fuse panel which are AFTER the INST fuse. That way any tap off is protected just like the stock circuit. You can put a small fuse in the tap if you must, 1/2A or 1A or so.
This should be a fairly simple problem. Find enverything the orange feeds from the fuse panel and check every socket and bulb. Look for damaged wiring. As I said earlier, START WITH what has been modified, AKA the aftermarket gauges
