Ok recently I discovered that I have no brake lights. When I checked the fuse for the brake lights it was blown. So I put a new fuse in and tested by pressing the brake pedal. Almost immediately the fuse blows again. I thought it might have been the bulbs so I replaced all the lights in the rear and same results, fuse keeps blowing. Next I tried changing the brake light switch and what do you know, the fuse blows again. This is really becoming annoying and I have no idea where this short could be coming from. I've even unplugged all the tail lights from the plugs and the fuse still blows. :gotme

Any help would greatly help. My car is a 90 S13 if I forgot to mention. Please help because I do not want to get a bs ticket from are lovely police pigs.

Still trying to figure out this problem. Its pissing me off big time because everything looks good and I can not find a short. Also for some reason my fuse to my aftermarket fog lights kept blowing as well. Every thing was working fine but I have no idea what the cause is now.

I uninstalled the fog lights to see if that would help and of course NOTHING. :wtf2:

All the wires to the brake light switch look good as well as the wiring to the tail lights them self. :facepalm:
