I think that fuse feeds at least 2 wires, one for the front and one for the 
rear. Disconnect one at a time to see which blows the fuse. At least that will 
cut your chase in half.

Then consider likely suspects. Where are there damaged lights? Where did you do 
repairs recently? Is there anywhere that has suffered crash damage?
