What you got is a direct short to ground-if its really bad-the car can catch on fire depends where that short is located.
Disconnect the negative battery cable put a test light between the cable and battery negative post-if there's a short the test light will lit-Is it On-if so start removing fuses one at a time -the fuse that turns off the test light is the trouble circuit.
