My daughter has a 98 F150. The running lights, license plate light & dash lights went out. We replaced the fuse under the hood (#7 I think?) but the fuse blew again. Any suggestions?

 

sounds like a short somewhere

 

I also have the same issue right now, on my 05 F150. Fuse #6 (running lights / cluster lights) blows as soon as I start my truck.

I have checked all of the bulbs (dual filment) to see if there was a short, and replaced all of them to be sure.

Still did not fix the problem.

I am waiting on a wiring diagram, but I have a feeling this is going to be a big pain in my ***!

Anyone have this same problem? What did you do to fix?
