I have a 1999 turbo miata and I was driving down the road today when my gauges started somking and my windshield wipers went crazy and they were not turned on....then my main fuse melted down. I am runing DIYPNP. What the hell could have caused this? The only thing I could think of is that I have a major short in my power wire form the battery....Any help would be appreciated!

I'd check those wires and make sure you didn't short anything. Check to see if it rubbed anywhere, or got smashed and the insulation broke. Not sure where the wiper motors get power from, but a short could have turned that on.
