blown fuse, 10 amp fuse for gauge cluster keeps blowing.. Options

[flyinglizard]

I have a strange dilemma. Starting today immediately after installing my jdm tails, the 10 amp fuse for the gauge cluster and power windows blows ONLY when i shift the car into reverse. I have been through 4 fuses already and can't figure out the problem.

And also, when I left my car parked for a few hours tonight I came back and tried to start it and the battery was completely dead. Nothing electrical would even turn on. Then on the way home my head unit crapped out and stopped working.

Anybody have any insight as to what's happening with my car?

Checked it and the right reverse light wire was missing some insulation and it was contacting bare metal. I fixed it up so hopefully that was the source. Thanks!

after driving the car for over a year, since mid-March to be exact. this 15 amp EFI Fuse melted. The swap was done professionally by a well known shop in San Diego. will it burn out again.
