Two different fuses control everything you mentioned.

The P&A fuse goes to your Acc switch and cigarette lighter.

The Accessory fuse is for your running lights.

Turn off your Acc switch and unplug anything in cigarette lighter, then check both fuses. Then turn on ignition without Acc switch on, and recheck fuses.

If they are still good do it again with Acc switch on.

Both fuses should be 15 amp.

What is hooked up to the Acc switch?

The reason you had a battery issue in the first place could be the aux lights having this draw on the battery in the first place.

Get some fuses....take out both passing light bulbs and insert a new fuse. If I recall correctly I remember taping some leads in the passing light housing because I didn't like what I saw from the factory. There was a hot lead that could ground out on the inside of the housing if not positioned right. I forget exactly what caught my attention but I would start looking in the passing light housings.

Ditto on the passing lamp hot wire. When I replaced the sealed beam units with halagon bulb units the hot wire had started to chaffe against the housing where it came into the lamp. I suspect beause it was very tight with almost zero slack. Put additional tape on it and pulled the wires through a little bit.

Ditto on the above replies. Also check your wires for frayed or cracks heading into the fused area. I've seen cross ciruit scenarios short out like you are reporting. It also might be in the wires in the ignition switch area.
