I was driving home in my '94 LHS this afternoon when I noticed the speedometer was not working. I looked around and none of the gauges were working. The trip computer was also dead. The radio was working. When I got home, I found that a 5 amp fuse had blown. I replaced it, only to have it blow again 2 secs after the car started.
Any ideas?
Not sure if this makes any difference, but I just replaced the battery two days ago.

Sounds like a short in the dash ckt. The simpliest thing to check would be that a bulb for the dash has shorted internally and is causing the short. Also more likely would be a wiring issue with the power somewhere there. You could try disconnecting things one at a time and just measure with an ohm meter to ground as you do and when the resistance increases you would have found your shorted item.
