My tail light fuse blows every time I turn on the lights, so I suspect that I have a short in a wire somewhere. What's a good way to test? I have a DVOM and have checked continuity from the ground wire to the other three wires (tail light, side marker and backup light) on both sides and it comes up clean. Any other ideas?
