Wiring problem HELP

Does anyone have a link to the Factory service manual for a 89 GTU? (S5) I cant seem to find it. I'm looking for a wiring diagram. When I turn the running lights on they are real dim and smoke starts coming up from under the steering column. And I keep blowing this fuse. I found 2 wires that are melted on the wiring harness. A purple one and a whitish brownish one. Anyone ever had a similar problem?

I would try the "Frequently Asked Questions on the 2nd Generation RX-7 - FAQ for FC"

"I don't want to buy a shop manual for my car, is there a place where I can still find out the information from one
Shop manuals for both series can be found on-line at:
http://www.cochran-racing.com/FSM/index.html
http://208.62.166.66:82/guest/shop_manuals/
or (86-88)
http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factor...nual/1986_1988/
and (89-91)
http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factor...nual/1989_1991/"

Gosh I never thought it would be so confusing. The two wires that are melted are coming off of a blue connector. I'm thinking of just wiring all the running lights to a switch. Does anyone know which wires on the rear tail lights are for just the running lights? not the brake. I gave up on the wiring diagram....too confusing
