Minor Problem

On my 1999 F-150, i noticed that when i would turn my lights on at night, that the light that lights up the speedometer and etc.. would not come on(dimmer light). I took the fuse out which is a 5amp, and sure enough it was burned. So i put another one in, and it burned up to. I shook those wires right under the dash, and put another fuse in, and it would work for a day before blowing again. I think i have a short somewhere. Ive tried different size fuses, and still no good. Is there anything that i can do so i would not have to take it into a shop.
Thanks,
Steve

Pull the headlight switch out and take a look at the wiring and connectors going to it to see if you can find a short or if the connector on the switch is burned.
