Fixed column....no dome, dash or tail lights??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I got my column fixed, and for good measure I changed out my plug wires. Pretty good day.

This morning I go out to get in my truck, and there's no dash or dome lights. I figured it was a busted fuse, and sure enough, so I replaced it, and POP, the fuse blows again. Turns out I don't have tail lights either. I have headlights, and backup lights. Just no taillights, and hitting the brakes shows nothing.

So...I did something that's now causing a short somewhere in the engine compartment or under the dash that's blowing the instrument, dome and taillight fuse...

Anyone have any ideas, or am I screwed and have to chase it down with a 12v tester?
