Default tail light/ instrument cluster/ license plate light fuse blows everytime

Can't figure out what's wrong. The fuse for all of these lights blow everytime I put it in and turn on my car. I have unhooked the cluster tail lights and license lights and tried it again. But can't figure it out. If anyone knows anything helpful please let me know.

This one sounds more like it's all on you. Grab a friend and start probing... Well I mean get somebody to help you with trying to isolate where it is grounding out at.

My CRX did this before. I left the reverse lights "plug wires" dangling by the transmission and they touched the transmission and kept blowing that fuse. Although the fuse mine blew made the entire cluster go dead, as if the car was off. Just a thought. -Later, BR
