I have 1989 Toyota pickup with a v6 and 182,000 miles on it. My tail light keep going out and my dash light won’t turn on. I replaced the fuse for it but keeps blowing. It blows my tail lights when I turn on my head lights. And the dash lights don’t turn on when I flip the switch. The bulbs are good in all of it. What should I do?

The dash lite and tail light is control by the combination switch a short within will cause the fuse to blow.
