It didn't. Put in new fuse, went for a ride, hit a bump, dash went dark.

I was afraid of that, the fuse usually blows for a reason. Sounds like a short somewhere? Check the back of fuse block, see if anything melted or the wiring is chaffed. Check wiring connectors. About all I can do now is hunt and peck on the wiring circuit. It can be like hunting a needle in a haystack? Give me a minute.

In the diagram, the red wire carries voltage for the fuse that keeps blowing. Wiggle the wire see if you can get circuit to go live, everything off. Unplug connector from instrument cluster module, does the fuse still blow? If it does there is a problem with that red wire circuit.

Possibly the footwell module, its a common issue with the early E-90
