My headlights on my truck have gone out and only the headlights, a security message appears on the message center I found it was a blown 10A fuse so I replaced it and the lights worked but then as I was driving they went out again and then when I replaced the fuse it blew as soon as I put it in with the key off. Now when I put a fuse in the lights stay on no matter if the truck is off or on, also there was a smell of hot wires in the cab before they stayed constantly on. Where should I look for the problem?

You have an obvious short circuit somewhere and it will have to be tracked down. It can be the headlamp switch or anything else in the circuit and may not be easy to find for even an experienced tech.
