Problem solved.  I found a loose wire that was causing a short.

After working out a problem I had with the red ignition/battery light on the center cluster set up in my '84 saloon, (thanks to kind forum members) I have all lights working as they are supposed to except the panel/instrument lights which keep blowing fuse #4 on my fuse box.  The speedo illumination lights run off of red/green wires and the oil/temp illumination likewise come from red/green wires with added black ones.  The red green wires mentioned terminate on the opposite side of the fuse box from where a solid red wire attaches.  These are positions 7 and 8 on the box.  All wiring is new as is the fuse box.  All fuse box connections are as they are suppose to be and I have a nice fat cluster of black ground wires that come out of the main harness are are firmly and cleanly attached to bare metal on the inner fender.

 

The question is, is there some obvious problem that might be causing me to keep blowing the #4 fuse?

 

I've read through eight or nine pages of responses to wiring problem questions to no avail.
