Tail light fuse blows instantly. Checked for damaged/loose wiring and blown bulbs. Everything looks fine. Where do I look next?

Tail light fuse blows right away, as soon as installed, even with car off? Or blows as soon as you turn on lights?

P.S. Might want to change your username, so spammers dont fill your inbox.

I dont have access to a wiring diagram until Monday a.m. when I go back to work. So I can only offer you generic advice. Pull both sides tail light bulbs. Carefully inspect the socket and contacts for any corrosion or rust, moisture, etc... Do you have a multimeter and know how to test for voltage, continuity?

That's good. I will close this now as solved to keep the spammers out. If you need it reopened, just ask any Mod.
