Electrical problem with Headlight Switch

Hi guys, I got a 1997 Ford F250 7.3L Powerstroke with a E4OD 4x4 and I got a problem I was leaving work the one day and I go to turn my lights on and they won’t come on so I go get the #4 fuse (15 amp) that blew and put it in and I go to turn my lights back on and it blew immediately so then I went and put a new headlight switch and connector in and it works but fuse #4 is melting and the tan and white wire that goes to the connector is really hot and smoking when I turn the lights the only lights that work are my headlights. My runnings lights and instrument illumination don’t work any clue what this can be? I’m not the best with electrical Thanks
