Default Fuse shorting, need schematic help

Hi All,

My '67 coupe seems to have developed a short someplace, causing the 2.5A AGA (the tiny one for the instrument cluster) fuse to blow. I have a Chilton manual and Scott Drake wiring schematics which shows that it runs through the main headlamp switch too.

I've replaced the fuse and even purchased a new headlight switch, but as soon as I pull the headlight switch to the parking light position, the fuse will blow. I can't seem to make sense from the schematics I have where (and what) exactly is running off that particular circuit. I've totally disconnected the instrument cluster from the wirig harness and the fuse still blows.

Does anyone have an idea or more detailed schematics they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance!

Check to make sure you don't have a parking lamp wire shorting out since that is the circuit it runs on.

Pull all of the marker lights....front, back, side....and see if it still blows. Look closely at the bulbs. If it doesn't blow after that, one of the bulbs is shorted...Reinstall them until it blows.
