Intantly....tells me the problem is a short rather than an over load. If nothing is amiss with the vehicle you may have a burnt bulb with the filament shorting to ground. May have, could be other problems but starting with simple to complex.
Remove all rear tail lights including the licence plate light. With all out, put in new same fuse, turn light on, blow ? or no blow?
Then install 1 bulb at a time if good leave in circuit then move on.
Look at the bulbs while out, there are 2 complete filaments, are they all the same, look into your receptacles, clean out any green stuss and wash with contact cleaner, examine the leads as much as you see and check for obvious problems.
Intall bulbs with a twist, if it works try out the other filament with the blinkers.
The blinkers and tail areseparate circuits so be aware the blinkers are also up front and tied to the 4way and blinker control.
Look for water or water misting at each lamp.
Make grounding is clean and solid.
