My TAIL Fuse Keeps Blowing

Can you help? All my lights work as long as I don't switch on the headlights or park lights. As soon as I hit the switch the tail fuse blows and my headlights stay up until i replace the fuse. No lights work after this blows.

The TAIL fuse actually protects the front park and marker lamps as well as the tail lamps:

Check the schematic here:

Thanks for the advice, I found the problem. when I hooked up my radio I used the brown wire for my power wire and it was too much I guess. I unhooked it and the fuse stopped blowing!!
