I have no idea were the problem is, so I was hoping some of you guys would have some insite. My gauge cluster is not lighting up and the tail lights are also out. I keep on blowing 10amp tail light fuses under the hood. My tail lights still light up when I hit the brakes or use my turn signals. I put a 30amp fuse in and the cluster and the tail lights lit up just a little bit. I can not find any other blown fuses or grounded exposes wires so I have no idea if it is something incredible simple but who knows.

Check the bulbs, sometimes they burn out and short out the system. Otherwise start checking for a short in the system somewhere... electrical problems suck.
 Oh, and get the 30 amp fuse out of there... good way to catch the car on fire. The wiring in that circuit is not meant to have 30 amps flowing through it, very likely you'll end up melting a wire and starting a fire. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
