The short can be anywhere from the front to the back.
Unplug the harnesses from the assemblies, and put the signals on to see if the fuse
blows, if so, there is a short to ground, chassis side. If not, proceed:
Plug the driver side harness back in, test, if it blows, the short is in the assembly.
If it does not blow, then plug the passenger side one in, then test again if it
blows here, same deal, in the assembly.
Trial and error...
