So i know i have either a bad bulb, or a ground somewhere blowing my TAIL fuse. After reading around seemed like the best way to chase down a bulb was to pull em all out and check from there one by one. I went ahead and replaced the headlight switch, and So far ive removed:

all the tail light bulbs

all the speedo bulbs

the turn sigals up front

The side markers

The console and hvac bulbs (did the radio have a bulb?)

There was no bulb in the underhood light

Pulled the little ashtray light also

And still it pops right when i pull on the headlight switch. Am i missing some bulbs somewhere ?

I do have an aftermarket radio, but it's wired correctly.

 

I'm thinking that you have a short to ground somewhere on the power side of the headlight circuit. I would visually check the wiring that is at the back of the headlights, and follow them as they go back into the car and make sure that none of the wires got pinched or anything.

 

It must be a short somewhere because i pulled everything and still popped a fuse, man electrical problems are frusterating, whats the best way to track down this thing after the bulb test ? Trickster ?
