Icon3 1998 Honda Accord LX sedan short circuit/blown fuse

So my accord had a blown fuse (10amps) on the the passenger side. I went to O'Reilly once I got home from work and bought a replacement fuse. After putting the fuse into the socket, I tried turning my parking lights on and nothing showed up. Then I looked at the fuse again, it had burnt out..I tried it with at least 7 fuses and all had the same effect. I also heard the fuse being blown when I did it. Note that the 10 amp fuse is for the Small Light section. My cluster, parking lights and fog lights would not light up. I was thinking of a short circuit wire some where but eh...

The purpose of a fuse is to be the weakest link in the electrical system so as to protect equipment. If the fuse keeps blowing there is a problem with either the circuit(wiring) or a component(bulb).

Find the problem and fix it.
