1995 Montero SR Dash Gauges Fuse is blowing

It has about 110k miles on it, all of the sudden the fuse that controls the speedometer, tach, water temp, oil pressure, fuel tank level gauges/lights has been popping. As soon as I turn the ignition it pops. The 4x4 light works as well as the light that indicates overdrive. Any ideas?

It's fuse #11 that is popping. As soon as I start the vehicle, pow! And sometimes I can run it for a few minutes before it blows.

Put in a bigger fuse and see if that allows you to identify a malfunctioning gauge. I’d only go up one fuse size though, if it blows that one, not sure what I’d do next. You said sometimes you can run it for a bit before it blows, during that time have you noticed any lights out / gauges acting odd? Also obviously don’t leave the bigger fuse in, only use it for troubleshooting.
