A short to ground. Check the wiring. The wires run along the drivers side rocker pannel (inside, under carpet). The pop out behind the drivers side tail light.

Re: Break light fuse keeps blowing

what up dude. if it blows she blows. ha. na but really. try getting under the dash by the brake pedal. check the routing of wire as far as you can see, remove the brake switch inspect. I know when my buddies brake light circuit would pop fuse, it was because a wire near the back was grounding out, pop. he went through over 50 fuses. until i was like dude....

Re: Break light fuse keeps blowing

I recently replaced the starter, could it be that ground wire is making a short?
