randomly blowing the same fuse????

Ok this is a very vag(sp) description, but I will give you as much as I can.

Earlier this week I started blowing the "gauges" fuse. It seems to be random, it does it during the day, during the night, lights on or off, sometimes its when I hit a bump, but I am not sure if its every time.

Yesterday me and a friend went over a few wires and taped up anythign that we could find, that my be shorting out on anything.then last night the car did fine. Then today I went to go grab some fast food and it blew it again. I am really stumped at this point as to what is causing this to happen.

BTW the car is an 89 formula 350, auto

Well we pulled my gauge cluster its self to check the connections, but nothing I could see wrong there. And I am far from an electrician, so I am not going to be able to easily identify the problem when/if i see it.
