ELECTRICAL GREMLINS SUCK:

If you are going through clusters I would look for a grounding issue.

check all ground wire connections

Improve all connections from battery, starter, GP'S, solenoids, then move to the grounds under the dash, at fuses, cluster and rear harness. Something big may be grounding through your little systems. Look carefully for signs of heat.
