keep blowing #8
i just buttoned up all my efuel stuff and i keep blowing fuse #8 in the cab fuse box. no odometer abs is blinking etc.. i checked for if i drilled through a wire or something that would cause a dead ground and i didnt...wiring all looks good and ive blown 3 25's 2 30's just hoping if i kept shoving them in it would change. i unhooked the batterys and put it in but when i hooked the batterys up it blew iinstantly. i dont know what to do

Did you mount (drill) anything on the firewall? Fuse 8 powers most interior lamps and the instrument cluster. I once drilled a hole in the firewall to mount something and drilled through a wire bundle ...

turns out i drilled through the wiring harness that runs under the carpet near the drivers side seatbelt... fixed that and fuse 8 is now good....buuuuuut now my abs is blinking and i cant shift out of park. i pulled #18 and i can shift and my abs stops but i loose odometer and whatever else goes with number 18 so any ideas with that?
