My grammar sucks too good thing I need help with electrical and not literature BC Yall would have YA hands full...
 
So after you replace the fuse, this only happens when you try to use the windows?

It sounds like one of the switches is shorting internally, or one of the window motors is shorted. Some cars have a fuse for each window, so you can easily pull the other fuses and disable the other window motors.

The gauges going crazy is probably a false positive, and is likely caused by something shorting out somewhere like the window circuit, which then pulls voltage too low for the gauges to work properly. That's my suspicion at least.
 
Our company mechanic said it sounded like a possible bad window motor also the driver side must have a broken wirebc it's been working off and on and sometimes when the little pop in dash happens the idle changes also got a code 75 other day said it was broken wire to egr selonoid but not happen since and windows been working all week! I hate the electrical part of vehicles Its my down fall as a self taught mechanic lol
