Default electrical problem, need help

my parking and tail lights do not work on my 85 iroc, i think they are on the same curcuit because they run off the same fuse. every fuse i put in blows when i turn the lights on so its a pinched wire somewhere. where ar the wires routed? inside, outside?

You could check your headlight switch. There is a 10 gauge wire on there that gets hot and will melt the plastic connector
And you could pull the bulbs out and if the fuse dont blow put them back in until it blows again to give you an idea of which light is giving the problems. It may also be a bad socket.

its just the running lights (parking and tail) turn signal work fine, headlights work fine, foglights work fine.
what happened was i ran over a bush...so i thought it might be a shoft in the front so i re-wired the whole front parking lights and got no result,
could it really be the switch?

every time i pull the switch to turn them on the fuse blows as soon as i pull it.

are the wires to the tailights outside the car or inside?
