My 79 keeps blowing the fuse for the instrument panel. As soon as the switch comes on it blows.

Since I'm new to old Fords, (always had GM's or Toyota Supras), can some of you guru's point out possible problems? What else is tied to that fuse that I could check out? The car does have an aftermarket Aiwa CD player in it that is working fine. Don't know if that would have anything to do with it.

Didn't know if this was a common problem associated with these cars.

Thanks
