Fuse Problem on 1991 240 wagon.

The 16th fuse which is for the passenger side parking lights and the
instrument panel lights, blows consistently and immediately when I turn the
lights on. I figured that there was a hard short somewhere, but I am unable
to find it.

Does anybody have any hints or suggestions?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

 

Look around where the wires for the lights in the front seatbelt buckles
could possibly rub on the front seat frames as the seats move back and
forth. Also if the license lights are on that fuse, look at the wires
where they go through the tailgate hinges. You can see the tailgate
harnesses right where the hinge pivots when the tailgate is open.
