Just before i left home...the lights on my dash guages suddenly went off...checked the headlights, it's still working, checked park lights...not working

Just as i suspected...it was a busted fuse for "guage illuminator", tried putting a new one in and it sparked. when i pulled out the fuse, putol na naman...tried another one for the heck of it...same thing...what could be wrong? grounded? or meron kayang nabasa? I'll have it checked kay reys later kung maaga makalabas...

TIA!
