Default Help me figure this one out

My wife has a 1997 Civic CX. The other day she left her lights on all day long at work from about 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Naturally it drained the battery completely dead. I Jump started it and got it home but the battery would not hold a charge. I put a brand new battery in it so it fixed that problem. Now however there is a short in the instrument lights. It doesn't matter what size fuse you put in the fuse box as soon as you turn the lights on it pops. I've traced the wires as best as I could but I can't find anything grounding out. Anyone have any ideas or solutions ? Where can I find a wiring diagram on the net ? I know a Haynes or Chiltons manual would be helpful but I'm looking for a quick fix here.
