'82 300TD - Circuit 1 fuse blowing

I have a 1982 300TDT. My fuse for circuit 1 keeps blowing. I have the correct color fuse installed as per the fuse box specification.

Over a year and a half ago this started happening. Up until now I could just replace the fuse and it would be fine for several months, so I just let it go.

Now, however, it blows immediately as soon as ignition switch or lights are turned on.

When this blows I lose my dash lights, right rear taillight and right marker light. It basically means I can't safely drive it at night until I get the problem taken care of. The turn signals still work, by the way, if that somehow helps to diagnose the problem.

123 Suspension Torque specifications ??

123 '83 300D turbodiesel:

I am rebuilding the front end on this car and need torque specifications to properly replace the nuts and bolts in the front end. I am installing new shocks upper a-arms, sway bar bushings etc. If you have the specs available please give me a call at 310-291-2035. My car is in the shop right now and the technician asked me if I had any of the specs.

Short notice I know and I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks,
Michael
