Have you done any work on it lately? If so retrace your steps make sure you havnt knocked a wire.

I just had similar problem on xr2, replaced steering column and never realised i had nipped a wire in one of the bolts under the dash. Knocked a tailight out, buzzer and dash lights.. Kept blowing fuses. Took me ages to find it, after checking everything else.
