Hi elJefe13,

Thank you for the donation.

There is a short in the parking light wiring circuit and you need to check/test to get to the bottom of it.

Was any repairs carried out prior to this occurring? If yes, backtrack the repairs and check if any of the wires were grounded.

Is thare any body damage due to impacts? If yes, check those areas for wires being pinched to ground by the impact.

If any bulbs were replaced, ensure they are of the correct type. If not, remove all light bulbs and test if fuse blows when light is turned on. If no, start by installing each bulb till the bulb that causes the fuse to blow is identified. Check the bulb and the socket for crossed wirings.
