I do not have tail lights or side marker lights. I checked the fuse and it was blown, so I replaced it, turned lights on and it blew again. How do I trace the SHORT? If it is a ground where would I look for the ground?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

it will not be a groud wire, they don't get shorted and cause a fuse to blow since its on the ground side. Pull the bulbs out of the affected lights forst, see where that gets you. If it does not blow, put them back in one at a time. If it does blow, start tracing the wiring back from the tail lights on the back of the bumper into the car. I can't remember where they run under the carpet. Did you install anything new lately?
