84 Ranger with a 302v8. I was driving down the road at night and then my tail lights go out as well as the front sidemarker lights. I get home and the fuse is blown on that circuit, i knew thats what happened. 15 amp fuse, everytime i try to put a new fuse in it keeps blowing. Could i have a short somewhere? It was raining when this happened.

i looked and couldn't find anything on the wires. I checked all the fuses and just the 1 for that circuit is blown. Im not much of an electrical guru, any tips on what to check for? I put a meter up to the light sockets and the needle pegs to 0..whats this mean?
