Default fuse short

i have a 20a fuse that keeps shorting, its in the fuse box under the hood. it takes out all of my gauges, interior lights, and radio. Its the very last fuse in the lower right corner of the grouped blade fuses. Does anyone know where it would most likely be shorting? thanks.

Mine did the same thing except it took the exterior lights with it too. Ended up being the headlight switch.

Possibly the headlight/dimmer switch. Possibly a domelight ....
