No lights working

I came across a little problem today. My front bumper and corner lights, tail lights, license plate lights and interior dash lights won't go on when I hit the light switch. Only the head lights work. The brake lights do work when I step on the brakes. As does the reverse and signal. I checked the fuse under the hood which was the "small light" fuse (thats what its call on the cover) amperage 20. That fuse burned out. I figure no biggie let me replace it. Put a new one on and it burned out right away. I replaced a new light switch and it still burned the fuse when i hit the lights. Now I'm guessing I have a short to ground somewhere. Does anybody have a wire diagram for the light switch?
Thanks

I got a hold of the wire diagram and traced the short. It ended up being a bad tail light bulb that kept blowing the fuse. The lights were still working but the 2 nipple contact points of the bulb were melted.
