Title pretty much tells the whole story, just wondering since i know it seems like a common problem for the fuses to blow on the 3g's for brake lights, if there could be something causing it to blow or if i should check the clips and wires more closely?? or does that sound more like a socket problem, my tail-lights are working fine but it's just the brake fuse that keeps blowing, any help would be greatly appreciated and as soon as possible would be great too, since i use it as a daily driver and my drive home from work is at night......

either there is a short or your using a weaker amperage rating.

check for shorts at the tail light assembly and around the brake pedel. most likely it is at the tail light. look for corrosion and burn evidence.

Well, i found out it's not when brake lite is being pressed, it's about 30-60 seconds after i put in a new fuse under hood, it'll blow by itself, so does that mean it's the horn that's causing it to blow??? and if so, how do i go about unhooking the horn or horns?
