In the rear, disconnect all the connectors to the lights on the bad circuit. If the fuse still blows, then there is a short upstream of the connectors in the circuit. You might check the combination switch in this case. If the fuse doesn't blow, carefully inspect the bulb sockets for evidence of shorting.
