Panel Fuse keeps blowing. Need dimmer knob, Figured it out :) Options

So yesterday my panel fuse (7.5a) decided to blow. All i know thats powered by that is the gauge lights? which is alot more important than you'd think lol.
At first I thought it was my vent and handle lights, because I took the power from the cig lighter light, so everything would turn on with the lights and it has worked fine for months, but thought maybe a wire came loose or something. Searched for a couple hours tracing everywire, blowing a bunch of fuses, and eventually just unhooking all the extra lights from the power.
Still blew the fuse
Hooked the lights up to a direct power, they all turn on fine, so im pretty positive its not them
Is there anything else powered by this fuse? I cant imagine it just does the gauge lights but from what I can see it is... Anything common I should check?
I havent done any wiring in a few months so I dont understand why it would just start to blow?
Anyway to put direct power to the gauge lights? thanks a ton in advance
