My fuse keeps blowing everytime I turn on the headlight switch at night. Ive replaced it with a higher 25 fuse and even a 30 the 25 pops and the 30 just gets hot and the lights do not turn on. I also replaced the headlight swtich and that didnt solve the problem. Is it a possibility that it could be the aftermarket radio I installed. Would it matter that I did a tuneup afew days ago? Im clueless I need help.

When you replace the headlight switch did you check the loom? I had the same problem on my truck and the wire were melted together, remove the headlight switch and checked the wires.
