My speedometer and tail lights keeps popping a 15 amp fuse. Any suggestions??

What is your question?

I replaced the light switch with a guaranteed part. Where do I go from there. I'm not mechanically inclined but I'm trying. Been driving at night with my hazards on.

WHEN in the sequence of events after installing good fuse , does it 'blow'? Right away, or after parking lights turned on? Maybe start by unplugging taillamp assemblies , in order to rule out any bad wire/short-to-ground in them , then go from there.

It blows right away

Do you have a 'circuit diagram' to use as a reference? IF not do you have a volt-ohmmeter to use for testing , at least? My suggestion would be to start by unplugging all known involved components in affected circuit and test individual wires for short to ground , or to other wires in circuit. IF you unplug both tail light assemblies , does the fuse still blow?
