This looks like a need help quick thread so I moved it in here. No tail lights, aint no good for anybodies health and welfare.

Here's what I like to do for stuff like this:
Get a circuit breaker from NAPA that matches the amps for the fuse. Pull your fuse and using some pigtails install the circuit breaker in its place. Now when the short happens the breaker will pop momentarily but come back. Monitor this and see if you can find some sort of a pattern. I've gone so far as to make a pigtail long enough that a passenger could hold the breaker so they could feel when it popped. This lets you concentrate on establishing a pattern.
How many fuses involved total? It looks like 1 for everything?
Give me a minute to look at the schematics and see what I can figure out.

It's a stupid question I know, but from experiance I have to ask anyway. Are you sure you have the right size fuse in there and it doesn't call for a 20 or somethin.
