Keep blowing a fuse?

I just installed a spectre cowl intake on my 98' XJ, and now a 15 volt fuse keeps blowing on acceleration. This fuse is connected to all the dash gauges, radio, and the "lock" button. When the fuse breaks the gauges fail immediately.It used to only break on hard accelerations, but now it blows on almost any acceleration. I keep replacing the fuse, and it continues to break. Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't feel comfortable driving without knowing my speed and such.

Locate the wire that is shorting out.

Little bit of this under the hood:

The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!

Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".

That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.

There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
