85 iroc with Lt1 swap
I keep blowing the 10 amp fuse labeled gauges. The wiring diagram I have shows the only thing on that fuse is gauges and cruise, I have removed all cruise components and the cluster is not in the car so the way I see it there shouldn't be anything connected but I'm still blowing the fuse. Suggestions please

 

I can't be sure, since your wiring diagram is turned the wrong way on my monitor, making it hard to read; but most FI setups use the "gauges" circuit for various ECM-driven things under the hood. Pink/blk wires are fed from that fuse.

That said, in a swap, it's impossible to guess what all might have been done wrong. Go back and check your work.

 

The problem was, I hooked a black and dark purple stripe wire to ground that came from the gauge power feed, In my defense it looked black when I did it.

 

Purple is not a great tracer color for a black wire.
