Default Electrical Problem-01 E320

Everytime I turn on my headlights, the #11 fuse blows. I have repeatedly replaced the fuse to no avail. The #11 fuse is for the instrument cluster,radio light, symbol lights, and license plate lights. All the bulbs are working. Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions or advice. Please help.

Sounds like a good probability you could have a hotlight wire shorting against the body. I assume you know not to use a higher rated fuse. Do not. [/align] If you have a few minutes after you turn the lights on before the fuse blows, you and all other helpers could look for the dim bulb before the fuse goes. The shorted wire will often rob voltage from the light or lights it goes to causing a dimming. [/align] If that's the case, then you examinethe wire by that light.[/align] If not then I would start looking at all light related wires contacting grounded parts of car.
