Gauges fuse keeps blowing, windows don't work either Options

[RoadRage]

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue
I took out my Control Unit thingy when i had a go at wrapping in carbon fibre


All i basically did is undo the 3 screws on the back, wrap and put back together and now next morning while driving my gauges went out while driving, Stopped and replaced the fuse but it blew instantly, I noticed the power windows don't work either however the fuse is not blown.
I took the control unit thing out and unplugged the power window (along with the lock button) and put a new fuse for the gauges and then didnt blow.


After driving for a while it was fine, but driving on the way back home on the highway the gauge went out again

I am assuming the wiring must have been tugged and something came loose when playing with the control unit... because when i check now the fuse name it says
gauges and metres, power door lock system

so nothing to do with the control unit.. maybe a loose ground?
anyone here got any ideas??
Thanks

check what color the power wire is to the power windows on the drivers side door. Follow that wire behind the doorcard and look for black scorch marks on the wire. check where the wires feed back to the cabin as well.
