I got a new job so have been away. Some things have changed but the results are the same: The PARK LT fuse blows every time I pull the light switch to first position.

I have gone through the switch and as far as I can tell it is functioning properly. The orange Fused Battery Feed wire is on the circuit that keeps blowing. On the other side of the fuse is a red jumper wire that jumps down to one side of the LIGHTER fuse and the other side of that fuse runs out to the Accessory Feed Wires connector that control various accessories (pwr windows, locks, etc.) I found that I had the lighter incorrectly connected to what was supposed to power the pwr windows. I hoped beyond hope that this was the problem, but no.

I received a new circuit board, verified all connections, looked over all wires and checked all connections front and back. I don't know wtf to do now.
