Exclamation Electrical Probelm HELP!

I keep blowing a fuse for the cab lights and radio. I dont even know where to start looking for a short. All cab lights and radio quits working except my gauges and dash lights. Has anyone had a similar problem?

someone told me on CF about the same problem they had. Said it was in the fuesable links on the drivers side fender. Did a quick look and did not see any worn down wires although im new to the fuesable links and don't really know what im looking at. It's the cab lights, exterior light for the bed, radio, and my power mirrors that don't work. Does anyone know which wire might be the culprit for all these accesories?

okay so what i have found was a plastic wire harness on the drivers side fender had become eroded. when i lifted up on the harnsess, the wire broke off. Do you think this is the problem or is this just another problem that i don't see right now?
