guys, overhead panel indicated tail lights out. when checked, right side tail not working. fuse blown. for shits and giggles i dropped a 10 then a 15 amp fuse in and as soon as inserted both blew. wires to tail lens look good and intact and untaped harness as far as left side lens. fuse 23 controls right tail, marker, and license plate bulbs. my next ploy is license plate light but waiting for PB blaster to finish it's work. question is, are there any other trouble spots ie, week links running forward in the harness that could be causing this short?
UPDATE;
so i disconnected the rear light check relay and popped in a new fuse 7.5 amp into slot 23 and it pops immediately. am i correct in assuming that the short is then north or upstream from the relay? if so, with the wire harness being electrical taped insulated for the entire length, what are the chances that the right side tail light wire broke inside the tape AND is touching something metal to create the short? could it be in the fuse box? is it possible it could be the headlight switch itself? again, everything works except for the right tail, license plate and right marker lights.
