2004 Excursion w/2014 front end front lights issue

Does anyone have a diagram for an 04 Excursion front lights and a 2014 Superduty front lights? I’m doing to front end conversion but I keep popping fuse 17 as soon as the headlight switch is switched or the truck is started. I’ve tracked it down to a 3 wire plug that I assume is the corner lights or parking lights. Headlights and turns work. Also I have the Morimoto headlights which should draw less power then the standard bulbs do. PFA

Here's the rest of the 2004. Looks like "B" is the one that goes to the front lights.

Thanks for these. Do you happen to know the pin out for the plug for the parking light for the 04 Excursion and the 2014 Superduty? I’m thinking my issue is in the pin out between the two. The Excursion wiring wouldn’t even plug into the stock 14 parking light, I tested that after I figured out what was popping the fuse.

I am assuming you can go by the wire colors on the 04. By the diagram above, The brown wire is the parking/marker light circuit.

The pass side front turn is white/lightblue. The driver's side front turn is lightgreen/white. I didn't include the 04 front turn diagram, sorry. I will attach it.

Going by the 2014 diagram above, I can't find the connector view for C1023 or C1043 using my source for the diagrams,, which is my local library. What I suggest you do is take a meter and probe the pins of the lights in ohms mode. Most likely you will find some pins with a resistance to them. If you find one pin that has a different resistance to two other pins, that might be the common or ground pin. I would then take a small battery charger and put power to the various pins to verify which lights light up.

Franklin I truly appreciate the diagrams. I've tracked my issue down to the corner lights/parking lights. It appears they go through the VSM and then to a relay in the CJB(Fuse box) called the trailer tow relay, parking lamp. Doing research I can't find what the battery junction box under the hood has in it. It has trailer relays, ac clutch relay, and two or three fuses but I can't find what the fuses are for and exactly what circuits the trailer relays are for. Can you find those diagrams for me? Again thank you so much for the help.

This is strange. I looked up a 2004 Excursion, and it does not list a Battery Junction Box. All it has is the Central Junction Box and about 5 little aux relay boxes scattered around. So I looked at the power distribution diagrams and the same thing happened. No Battery junction box on this vehicle that I can find.

I wonder what this is called then.

Aux relay boxes. There are 5 of them. Looks like the one with the couple of fuses is #5. Here are some attachments for the aux relay boxes.

Thanks for that. Just did some checking and all three wires on both sides are shorted to ground. Its been like this since before I got the truck 10 years ago. Now for the hard part of tracing the wires to see where the issue is. 😢🤦‍♂️
