It's possible your IOD fuse came loose. Not sure what year you have as that would help us out, but the earlier years just had a normal fuse where the newer one's have a plastic cage around the fuse to hold it in place.
IOD=Ignition Off Draw. I'm pretty sure that fuse covers the lights you speak of?

Agreed as a fuse issue. Let us know what you find out though.

so i found out what it was, yesterday i was messing around with the cd player because the PO didnt know how to wire and just left some exposed wires just hanging there.I assumed one wire went to a spot. the good thing is my assumption was right but the bad thing was it wasnt connected to anything, its just a blue wire that goes under my seat and ends so it just kept burning the fuse. thanks for the input now i dont have to use my phone to tell how fast i'm going lol

Good for you. I am assuming you checked all the other wires to make sure they were properly terminated right?
