Blowing The Same Fuse

My '01 F250 is eating up 10amp fuses in the same position in the interior fuse box (#19). This controls all of the needle gauges as well as the overdrive switch on the gear selector.

Anyone heard of any particular problem concerning this fuse or fuses in general?

Remove the steering column trim and check the wire to the OD cancel switch where it exits the shifter stick. They often rub through and short.
