Unhappy Tail Lights Out

1996 PSD, Dually, Crew Cab.

Second time the fuse blew for the tail lights, and dash board lights. I put a new fuse in last night, and it blew immediately. I remember reading someplace on this forum issues like this, I just could not find it. Where are the likely candidates? If I remember correctly, the light switch, and the fuse panel itself, but I am not sure.

Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew

Could be a broken wire inside your trailer wiring socket or one worn thru somewhere along the harness and connectors to the lights that is "shorting out".

Had the same problem with my old chev. The whole assembly had to be replaced. The cause was the circuit inside the tail light.
