Since your lights still turn off when the fuse is pulled, you can expect that is not being fed from another circuit. The print shows an orange/black wire from the fuse panel 15 amp marked PARK/TAIL fuse to the switch, then same color orange/black from the switch to the 5 amp fuse marked INST LPS. Which fuse are you pulling?
