Hello Yak and thanks for the input!

Yes, when the fuse blows the instrument cluster gauges all fail as expected.

I just disconnected the cruise control switch on the column.

I removed the instrument cluster and diddn't see anything there but I completely disconnected it.

I topped off the brake fluid as suggested. the little rubber covers on top of what I guess are the two sensors are all cracked and split but the fluid level is good.

Then I took it out for a spin and some hard braking and the fuse blew again.

I disconnected the brake fluid level sensors.

I disconnected the front brake pad wear sensors.

I disconnected the warning light flasher switch.

Drove around and the fuse blew again! Seems like we are running out of options.

I looked in The FSM but really tell where the TDC Amp is to disconnect.
