Aight so i was driving home one day and my cluster lights turned off, when i got out of my car i also noticed that my sidemarker lights, my tail lights were also not working, also my lighter and my ash tray lights do not work....so i switched the fuse cuz it did blow, then it blew that one too....i tried putting in about 10 fuses and it blew them all...(it is only blowing that one fuse, the rest of them are fine)....i think i have a short....does anybody know what is exactly wrong and how to fix it....if you do know you will be a great help...thanks

You will need to take a test light and install the clip to one end of the fuse holder and the probe tip to the other end of the fuse holder, (basically we are putting the test light in the fuse box in place of the fuse). Now the test light should be on as long as the short circuit is present. You will need to unplug one item at a time until the test light goes out. When the light goes out, the last thing you unplugged is the problem area of the circuit. Be patient this can take a little while.
