no parking lights
i have a 96 ford ranger and the other day i was riding at night the guage cluster lights were flickering on and off, and then all of a sudden they stopped and didnt come back on. so i check the fuses and i blew one so i changed it but it keeps heating up really hot and then blowing. i think its a short somewhere but i dont know where. any help will be great.

A likely place would be the stereo if it's been replaced and or any gauges that have been added. Sometimes people's wiring practices are not too good.
