there is a fuse for the side markers, taillights, and interior lights behind the battery. you must remove the battery to get to it. I think it's the top left fuse

Did you replace any of your bulbs with LEDs? LEDs have polarity and will short the circuit if you connect them the wrong way. The fuse will be blown if that is the case. The fuse block for it will be below the battery so you have to remove the batt to get to it. Good luck!

Indeed, if you have LEDs in your corners pop them out and try the stock bulbs(after changing the fuse) and see if it still has the problem.

they are no fuses under the battery.
The fuse box is right behind the battery and you shouldnt have to remove the battery at all.

Check all the fuses and make sure they are all good.

You will have to remove the battery cor and the stripping/cover under the windshield.

Hope you removed the headlight ballast before baking. If not, might of literally cooked it and why stuff shorting out and popping fuses now.

did you check every fuse to see if one was blown? Might be necessary in this case. shouldn't take too long to pull all the 10 and 15 fuses
