Electrical Problem!

Whenever I turn on my headlights, the blown fuse is sure to be only a few minutes or seconds later. The fuse that burns up is the one that controls the tail lights and my dash lights. It takes a 20 amp fuse, but I tried a 25 and a 30. The 20 didnt last too long. The 25 and 30 flickered and dimmed for about 10 minutes before they blew. It's really pissing me off and I've already got a ticket for it too!!

Try raising the headlights with the button on the dash instead of turning on the lights (and see if the fuse blows) to see if the problem is in the raising system instead of the lights themselves.....that may narrow your search...
