There are two fuses.
#7 in the power distribution box under hood and # 18 in the cab's fuse panel.

Are any of the bulbs blown in the dash? You could have had one of the bulbs go out causing the metal conductors inside to bridge causing a short. Replace the fuse then do the dash light test (via holding the trip reset button down while turning the ignition to the on position) to see all the bulbs are still good.
