hello i have a 1998 ranger that has been in my family for probably 20 years. its the 2.5L i4 engine i ran into a problem with my gage cluster lights and my day time running lights and i found out that the fuse keeps blowing up and idk what to do plz help

ive already replaced the fuse and it blew instantly as soon as i turned the lights on . ive checked for pinches in the wires and checked the connections to every thing and i still cant get them to work

 

Welcome to the forum

What fuse number?
And cab or engine fuse box?

Does the fuse blow as soon as you put it in or does it blow when you turn on the key?

So DRL are on and working, no blown fuse, until you activate the Main light switch?

Fuse 27 in cab fuse box powers several things like the DRL module and the Reverse lights but not the Cluster lights
