1987 Bronco11 2.9 4x4
Fuse keeps blowing when I turn on the headlight switch. Headlights work fine, its the dash lights and rear tail running lights that keep blowing a fuse. I bypassed the fuel relay switch also 4 months ago, so i have it toggled to my fuel pump (Its the only way i can get it to run) Any help would be apreciated

I had same problem. Mine was a wire at the rear of the vehichle that was rubbed thru and shorting out.

Look under the driver's side lamp ? and make sure the ground is still there.

Headlight switch could also be a suspect.
