I would suggest getting an electrical schematic to help you trace down that short circut. For example on my '86, the power to the ign/lps fuse comes from the same wire that powers the ignition control module(The red wire to it) which is powered from the ignition switch. On the other side of the fuse, it goes to the fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, instrument cluster 4wd lite, and electronic engine controls.
