Default Blown Ign Fuse-Need Help

2000 Camaro m6.Turned key and blew underhood ign fuse.Electrical isn't my strong point,but so far i have narrowed it down to the large pink wire between ign switch and underhood fuse block.Am pretty sure it comes off the ign relay.Just not sure where to check in between.With ign switch unplugged fuse does not blow.Am getting 12v on red wire at ign switch.Using a test light I checked between red wire and pink wire(both hook to ign switoh)It lights up.Thats where I get confused.Any help on where to check next will be appreciated.

I had that happen recently. When i replaced the 50A fuse it still wouldn't start.Performed the VATS fix and it wound up fixing it... I can only assume that the wires were damaged that controlled it. It took a lot of messing with it to get it to fire tho. The wires have gotta go deep in connector. Just a thought. Good luck.
