2011 9C1 Impala Repeatedly blowing RT HI BEAM Fuse

I recently bought a 2011 9C1 ex-police cruiser. When purchased the low beams and high beams functioned normally, however recently the high beams stopped working.

The interior dash indicator for the high beams works when its toggled but *NEITHER* high beam comes on. I checked the bulbs and fuses. Bulbs are OK, but the RT HI BEAM fuse blows the minute the high beams are turned on. The low beams remain on and do not toggle.

I decided to try and isolate it by removing the head light assemblies totally and replacing the fuse, same behavior.


Any ideas where I should start or whats is wrong?


Thanks!

Check the headlight harnesses. A fuse that repeatedly blows when power is applied to the circuit means there is a short to ground somewhere. Since the car is a 9C1, I wouldn't be a bit surprised at that. There may have been something spliced into the wiring somewhere and it may not have been removed right or something to that effect. It is a daunting task to trace wiring for shorts, but I think that may be your best bet right now.
