Reverse lights

I am popping fuses (20) for the reverse lights. I put a 30 in there to see what would happen, and that held until I started the truck. Is there a ground I can check for these lights? Where?

I have already sanded down the paint and re-attached the main body ground above the left headlight, but am pretty much lost right now with where to start with trouble shooting the reverse lights.

(I just got my FSM in the mail yesterday, so if there is a particular page I could read let me know)

Thanks.

Sounds like a dead short, not a grounding issue.

I'm not at my house right now so I can't tell you which diagram to look at, but there's an index at the beginning of the wiring diagrams. I'd start at the fusebox and see where the circuit travels from there.
