TAIL 15A fuse keeps blowing

Just finished up swapping out flywheels and when everything was back together my parking/cluster lights didnt work. Tail lights and headlights and all else works well. Check the TAIL fuse and it was blown. Replaced it with another 15A and as soon as I turn on the parking lights it blows.

Can someone tell me where I may have messed something up doing the flywheel? I had the trans out of the car, I did pull the starter harness out of the way but that shouldn't cause this.

Saw in the wiring diagram that everything goes through the TNS relay. I swapped it with the Retractor Relay and same problem.

If I had to venture a guess, I would say that you have messed up the 2 of 4 plugs at the trans, possibly connecting the harness to itself instead of the switch on the trans. Most likely the reverse light switch since that is on the 15A

Just went out and unplugged all the connections. Put in a new fuse and it still blows. Would a faulty headlight switch cause this?

You need to retrace everything you did, if this wasn't a problem before you pulled the trans then it is somehow related.

I had the same problem after installing a new deck. Then I taped all the loose wires and everything was normal
