Blowing Fuses-No Interior Lights!!!

'88 Trans Am GTA
When I hit the headlight button, the headlights flip up to the "all the way up" position, then the tail lamp fuse blows. This leaves me with no interior lights, foglights, and the headlight motors won't go back down.
When I turn on the parking lights, everything turns on for about ten seconds, then the fuse blows.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc?

don't overlook the "remote dimmer" transistor as the source of your short to ground.
