97 Civic Rear Running Lights keep blowing fuse
Hello.
my 1997 Civic EK Sedan Is having issues with its rear running light and license plate lights. Relay number 32 under the dash is the one that controls the lights. It keeps blowing indicating a short in the circuit. I will state now that I have close to zero knowledge when it comes to electrical. It seems like there is something making contact with a ground but I cannot find a loose or frayed wire ANYWHERE in the harness that I can access. The circuit will stay fine while driving normally but if I go over a bump or the chassis twists, the fuse blows. I haven’t the slightest clue where the short could be as I’ve looked everywhere for answers.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

97 is a 6th gen. Moving to correct section.
If your electrical knowledge sis close to zero as you says, leave it to professionals. take to a shop.
