Good evening,

I attached a diagram for you to view. Please identify the fuse number that is failing so I can isolate the circuit for you.

I would start by disconnecting the headlights and see if the fuse still fails.

Once I know the fuse number, I can help you identify the failure. I attached some guides to help you with the checks. Let me know if you have any other questions.
