The fuse keeps blowing because there's probably a short. Don't replace it with a bigger fuse unless you wanna see stuff melt. Head lights - check fuses for left and right headlights. If they are good, you might have a bad switch.

i got it fixed the car use to have a alarm on it but i toke it out cuz the the lockin things didnt work right and i didnt know what i needed to take out for takin the harness out

so i toke the time and fallowed where all the wires in the harness ran and toke out all the wires thats the alarm used and now its fixs so in the end the alarm was wired in to the cluster wires or somthin and was shorten it out

but w/e its fixed now cars cummin alone nicely starten to look a lil better the interiour is almost done but then i get into the importent stuff

i hope i dont have to many problems with the rest of the @!#$

you could have cooked your dimmer switch with the short. or when you adjust the dimmer, which adjusts voltage, it could be letting something else short out.
