My parking and marker lights in the front and tail lights and blinkers on the right side of vehicle are not working. I checked the fuse and it was blown. The bulbs were good. I changed the fuse and it blew right away. I did it again and same thing. What is my problem?

You have a short to ground in the system. Check where the trunk lid hinges, that the conduit is not rubbed through. Does the vehicle have any aftermarket stuff installed that may cause faults, like perhaps a trailer hitch.

No after market parts. I replaced each bulb and put white grease in the sockets and made sure they were dry. I guess I need to trace the wires and look for the short. Its only the front parking light and the rear tail light. The blinkers and brake lights work. Any suggestions?

Has the vehicle had any body work/been wrecked? Anything that may provide some direction. There is not really any main spot for short that I know of, other than around the trunk hinge that I mentioned previously.
