Subject:Electrical short, need advice...

Hi,

I have a short somewhere in the wiring for my tail,
parking, and side marker lights (left).  I keep
blowing the fuse every few days.  I have removed all
of the light casings and inspected the area of wire
that is visible, but all of that wire seems to be in
resonably good condition.  Ive swapped out all the
bulbs.  I cant seem to tell what exactly what I do
that shorts it out, because it doesnt happen when I
test all the lights, blinkers, etc.  The short always
occurs at somepoint when I am driving.

My problem is that I dont have the slightest clue as
to how to go about finding where the short is.  My
electrical skills and knowledge are nill.

Can one of you electricle gurus give me some pointers
to finding out where the problem exists?  Speak to me
as if I know nothing about electrical stuff.

Thanks a million,

jeff
