Try troubleshooting with only one fixture, while the others aren't screwed down. Then screw the cover on without the bulb inserted. If that doesn't blow the fuxe, try it with the bulb inserted. If that blows the fuse, reverse the bulb in the socket. If the problem still persists, rewire the fixture

It could be the solenoid. Run jumpers from the battery to the starter, bypassing the solenoid. If that does it, it's the solenoid. Or, you could try using a ;multimeter to see what the voltage is at the input to the solenoid and at the output of the solenoid when you turn the key. Alan Bergen 35 M
