72 fuse 7 blows

[Chazwars]

Literally and figuratively.

I checked every single connection to ensure proper grounding. All of the sockets work just fine. Following the wiring diagram, I checked the yellow/black leading to the truck compartment to the left license plate light to the right tail light to the rear side marker. I then checked the the front running light and front side marker. I followed the line to the trunk lights then to the cigarette lighter. All of the other lights work on the gauges and throughout the vehicle. I've got a dang gremlin somewhere in the chain. All of the electronics on fuse 8 work just fine so I know it's not a power input issue.

Help! I've popped about 20 fuses, thinking I've got it then POP, clank (the sound of the tool hitting the ground in frustration).

I knew the moment I posted, resolution would come.

I just pulled each of the yellow/blacks and followed the short on the specific wire tree.

Thanks!
