HELP Tail lamp fuse keeps popping when I turn the headlights on

[zbarsuglia]

So here's the deal. Whenever I turn the headlights on the fuse pops. I recently put in a new deck, but as of right now it's completely out, no exposed wires and the ground isn't touching anything and it still popped. Im no wiring expert, so I have no clue where to start. I dont know if it is a bad circuit(wouldn't know how to check) or a short somewhere, I think it's a short but I don't know where to check. Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: I just checked the dimmer switch an it's fine. I guess I have no choice but to follow the whole harness to see where this little bastard is

Bump I really need help

Had this exact same problem, never figured out what it was.

Theres a little white box behind the drivers floor panel, some say that's the reasoning. Mine did that in my hatch cause a wire was coming loose from the sidemarker.

TheRe isn't a white box in my kouki.

So today I replaced all the fuses and my tail lights worked. But the fuse popped AGAIN!? What is going on? I didn't do anything except change the fuses and now it's doing it again.

I really need help guys. Please give me advise.

Thanks

yea if i have my headlights on and use my brakes

after a few weeks to a month my connections on my taillights get like corroded and i gotta scrub them...


so i dunno a bad ground or something wiring devils

at the radio harness theirs two wires for lights
lights on
and dimmer
if u have these connected to radio in any other way then the correct way it would do this
besides that a marker light it touching ground
also if u find out its behind the radio fix it and it stays on
then something burned and got bridged somehow
but this is worst case senario

had this problem on my last 2 s13s. its probbly two wires touching each other, can be anywhere from the turn signals up front, to the tag lights. all of those lights use the same fuse. check out all the wiring for the front lights, headlights, turn signals, the corner lights, any of those
