I believe you have the 4 fuse set up correct?
If so, did you just happen to put the green wire to a wrong (or
different) terminal? On the 4 fuse block, there are really only 3 spaced
terminals. If you look under the fuse block you will see a built in
jumper meaning only 3 terminals input but 4 output.
If you managed to cross a brown terminal with a green, you have
succeeded in running power from the battery to the fused when key is on
circuit.

Or maybe you bent one of the terminals and it is hitting the one next to
it.

quick wire layout...
brown...hot from battery key off (lights, horn)
white from key, hot when key is on into fuse box but green coming out.
This is where to look.
I think the 1500s use the other 2 fuses to split the parking lights.

Color codes are what to look at. No green coming from a brown via the
fuse. (tracer colors are not important)
You want the green coming off a fused white wire.
