90' Hatch w/ SR (Daily)

Alright so as stated, my meter fuse keeps blowing. Everything worked fine for about 8 years or so up until a couple of weeks ago. My cluster doesn't work but all the cluster lights work fine. Auto seat belts had to be unplugged in the on position because of the fuse blowing and my climate control unit doesn't turn on as well. Interior lights work as well as the reverse lights.
Other info...

Speedo hasn't worked for about a couple of years but didn't pay too much attention to it, most likely the speed sensor gone bad. RPM, temp, and everything worked fine before the meter fuse started blowing.

Also when I unplug the battery (both terminals) and then put another fuse, then plug everything back up, it temporarily works for like a minute then blows again.

I've checked...

-Other fuses
-Replacing meter fuse (still blows instantly)
-Wiring
-Relays (Inside and Out)
-Every plug gets the right amount of power
-Continuity is fine
-Grounds are fine
-TCU is fine

I was hoping if anyone else had a similar problem before I take off the dash and check all the wires on the harness.
