Tail light fuse blowing

Thanks man- Yeah definitely have a direct short somewhere..
I figured since I had the cluster out I would pull the connector off of it (the circle one) put in a fuse....same problem. that might not even mean anything. I probably should have pulled the headlight switch connector. But would be hard to believe the switch is bad if it is "off" or should be.

I'll check out your link- I appreciate it.

(this is why you trailer 42 yr old cars home)

Looks like from the drawing that fuse feeds a bunch of non essential stuff....lets tie all that crap in with the taillights and blinkers shall we? Dumb.
