57 views and no help? Hmmmm. Well I'll take a shot in the dark and tell you to check out the ignition switch. You say everything is fine with the key in the "ON" position, but as soon as you turn it to "START" the fuse blows. Does it blow even with the instrument panel lights off? My guess is a bad switch. Something shorting between the ignition circuit and the lighting circuit.
