Tail lamp fuse keeps blowing

I have a short to ground somewhere on the dash side of my tail lamp fuse. I'm guessing its either my head lamp switch of the power wire for my cluster lights is shorted. Anyone have a diagram on this circuit or some advice on where too look?

change out the bulbs (all of them)... check the actual things the bulbs go into...
ran into this problem with my friend's corolla, previous owner did some shoddy work at 'fixing' the wire connections to the bulbs..

the solder the prev owner put in was grounding the power line to the ground at the spring x_x.. and this was found on 2 of his lights.

I unhooked the connectors at the tail lamps and installed a new fuse. The fuse still blew. So its not in the tail lamps. Its somewhere else. I think it might be in the switch itself but I'm not sure. The wire diagram that I found doesn't show Zenki cars. I've read that they are wired differently. I'm kind of lost on this one. But I really need it fixed because I just had to call into work because it's so foggy outside I can't drive with out tail lamps.
