Electrical Emergency brake nightmare

Emergency brake nightmare
I have somehow caused a problem with my hand brake such that when I pull up on it, even one "click" it blows the fuse that controls my tach, tach group readouts, and then causes a low level orange lighting to remain on at the dash even though the key is out and all lights off. As long as I don't touch the e-brake, a new fuse works fine. It seems like a short somewhere, but wondering if anyone has had similar experience(s). I am dreading the very long trip to the dealer and submitting to a diagnostic process of indeterminate length while the clock runs at $120/hr. Any help out there? Many thanks.

As far as I remember all the bulbs in the dash are soldered LED's. Don't quote me on that though. Going off my car (since my interior is gone)...there is a grounding strap I believe rith next to the ABS module in the center console..maybe that is loose? It's right next to the handbrake.....
