Rear running light fuse keeps blowing, also causing dash lights to go out. Anyone know why?

Good morning,

There is a short in the system that the fuse controls. When this happens, the fuse will fail.

I attached a wiring diagram of the system for you to view. Can you identify the exact fuse that has failed?
