98 Acura 2.5 tl electrical

Alright I have a 98 Acura TL. There is a direct short somewhere, But can't figure out where. Put all new fuses in. The car turns but once you turn it to where the lights and radio come on, the ignition fuse pops. Anybody have a clue or had a similar problem.? Thanks

It might be the combo switch itself is defective. Or the wire harness around the steering wheel/column.

If it has an aftermarket alarm system, check that wiring first.Lots of botched-up installations have caused many problems.

The fuse(s) that's blowing. What is the amperage rating?
