Unhappy 1992 Hilo

I have a electrical short in my interior light fuse blows as soon as I try to put new one in. I have traced the wires to behind refrigerator then they go into wall and i think run beside the tub but i can't seem to find exactly where they end to run a new wire. Does any one have any suggestions? Are they part of the Tail lights? Thanks Phoebe

All wires for the top section run down thru the cloth covered bundle which is usually in the back of the trailer, but actual location depends on the length of the trailer. Interior lights are not part of the tail lights but probably run to the rear in the same wire bundle. The wiring diagrams are similar and some run behind the fridg then into the bottom of the cabinets, under the tub and then to the cloth covered bundle. This is where they are in the 21-22 ft trailers with the couch in the front, trailers with the couch on the side are different.
You should post your year, model, length and where the couch is located, then someone can better help you.

Phoebe,
You still haven't posted you model, length and couch position, there were 2 models I believe in 1992 and different lengths also I believe there were different couch positions, per model and length. I know there was in 95, these things determine where the wires were placed.
If you are sure it runs behind the fridge the wire should be on the floor in the back of the cabinets, it is in my 95 21 ft. with front couch. It then goes thru the bath wall and under the tub, then behind the toilet into the closet and then up thru the cloth covered wire bundle. There are wire nuts in the bath closet on each wire and it should not be hard to find the wire for a specific light or lights.

When I said in back of the cabinets, sorry I meant inside the cabinets, open the cabinet door next to the fridge and see if the wires are in there, all the way to the back of the cabinet, on the floor or up under the shelf.

Another thing to check is to make sure you have the right amp fuse. I found that out on the rare ocassion that I use my truck horn. I held it and all of a sudden it stopped. I found the fuse blown, so I replaced it with the same thing that was in it. I tried the horn again with a short beep and it worked find. I laid into it and it blew the fuse again. I decided to read the fuse box cover and there it was, wrong amp fuse was installed. Sometime the obvious slaps us in the face.
