Default Help... my '93 CQ is blowing fuse after fuse

Help! My '93 CQ is blowing fuse after fuse after fuse.. The fuse is for the speedometer/rpm/fuel gauge.

Scenario:
When I change the blown fuse, then I start and drive the car, the fuse doesnt blow.

But when I shut the engine off and start the car again, the gauges doesnt work again. I check the fuse box and find a blown fuse. The fuse doesnt blow when the car is in motion!

Repeat above cycle.

Also, sometimes the engine stalls when I slow down to make a turn or to stop at a light.

The above 2 issues started happening after I changed the s/plugs. I have changed spark plugs a zillion times and this is the first time I experience this problem. There must be a short somewhere???? but I dont have a clue where to start looking.

Default for the gauges, make sure you don't have a coin in the cigarette lighter slot

that's what happened to me, and I kept blowing that fuse.

Default check your trunk..

turn on your lights and open your trunk, see if the fuse blows or not.
