Slightly off topic but I hope one of you out there can point me in the right
direction.

I have a 1994 Mustang GT and have been having a fuse blow this fall, 5 times
in two months.  This circuit controls my instrumentation lights and more
importantly my tail lights and parking lights.

I have recently added my DIY-WB to the car but have not tapped into this
circuit at all.  I have checked the circuit where I can access it and have
not found any obvious shorts etc.

This problem started after leaving the lights on one day, ran the battery
down, and then jumped per usual procedure.  Ever since I haven’t had a
single factor that I can determine caused the problem.

I originally thought the headlight switch must be the problem (it has the
dimmer control in it for the instrument lights) but everything seems to work
fine.

How do I find this problem?

Help!
