Parking Lights, Dash Lights, Instrument Cluster Blowing Fuses Immediately
Several fuses blow immediately after replacing and turning key to Accessory or ignition. Parking lights, dash lights, dome lights, and gauges. Anyone have any Idea where to start. I have a multi Meter and can do process of elimination but the system is wired in a weird loop instead of source to point individually.

Check your tail light bulbs and turn signla bulbs.
The parking lights & dash lights are normally on the same circuit so if you use the parking lights, you know it cuz you lost dash lights too.
I had this happen on an old truck of mine and it was the hazard switch once and the brake light bulb sockets the other time.

Is there wiring for a trailer hitch on the back?
