This sounds as if you have a wire rubbing somewhere. This can be very difficult to trace without some electrical experience. You will need to isolate the lights from one another to determine where the actual short to ground is. I would locate the parking light wire in the middle of the vehicle that shows power when the parking light switch is turned on, using a digital multimeter. Try not to move the wire look too much as not to disrupt your ability to find the short. Cut the wire isolating the front from the rear. Re-insert the fuse and if it still blows you know it is forward from where you created the isolation. If it ceases to blow then it is aft where you cut the wire. One you determine if the short is forward or aft then isolate the left parking lights from the right. If you have isolated the lights from one another and the fuse still blows then may be in the instrument cluster, parking light switch, etc.

Hope this helps get you going.

SOURCE: Every time I put a new fuse in for my taillights it blows instantly. I have a 1992 dodge w150. The bulbs are good. Can anyone tell me what's the right amp for it

it will not matter what amp fuse you use it will blow immediately until you fix the reason for the dead short
what you have to check first is the bulbs in use
if you are using a single filament bulb in a duel filament holder , the center contact bridges across the two points in the holder and shorts out the system

Hello Jack on or about February 9 you answered my question about a diagram for a 1992 Dodge w150 fuse panel. Some I lost it could you send it to me again? And can you put a 30 in place of a 20?

I'm not jack but I can answer the second part if you are referring to fuses
you can but the risk is that you will burn harness wires, fuse panels and equipment in the event of a dead short
wires are rated to carry a certain amperage and fuses are installed at a margin lower that the rating so that they blow first before the wires burn
