Driving the 88 2.8 one night and I start to hear clicking like a relay kicking under the dash, then i lose stereo and courtesy lights.

I can't even put a fuse in it. As soon as it makes contact, it blows. I've pulled the stereo, and no problems there.

Does anyone have any ideas ? It didn't blow the fuse until this clicking started

Here is a great page I found a link to, on Thirdgen.org

about halfway down you'll see Fuse Box Details and under that ACC Fuse

It shows just about everything that draws from the ACC fuse, one of them should be your problem.

The radio only draws a small bit from that fuse for clock and station memory so I doubt that it's the radio.

I had this same problem on my car. When I would turn on the lights the fuse would blow, check for any frayed wires. I found a few that were frayed and shorting out. Also check your horn,blinker relays, and the buzzer thing. They are located just behind the aldl, they are on a little black square that swings down when you release the tabs that hold it up.
