Default Have no running lights f250

I'm scratching my head on this one.. Maybe someone has an idea.. My running lights just stopped working.. I have headlights, dash lights, blinkers. Changed the fuse but it keeps popping under the hood. I tried a few all the same. I unplugged the rear hareness and it's still happening... So it's has to be upfront somewhere. I checked wires for breaks, nothing obvious.. Any ideas that don't involve ripping out the entire dash??

If you mean parking and tail lights , look for one light that lights dimly for the short time you install the new fuse, that should give you an idea which section is involved. If you can't or chose not to do that you may need to open each pkg and/or tail light and look for something obvious with any one of them.

The fuse instantly blows before I can even get it all the way pushed in.. I disconnected the rear harness so it's not in the rear anywhere... I'm thinking it's has to be a wire rubbing somewhere in the dash... Not fun!

Wire rub through under the dash is very uncommon and I would suggest you look at the wiring to the individual lights especially if there was any type of accident damage.
