I have searched, but nothing seems to be exactly like my problem. i was coming home last night and noticed that my guage cluster's lights weren't on. so not thinking about it i drove all the way home to find out i had no brake lights or tail lights. i replaced fuse #15 and it blew as soon as i turned the tail lights on, but my brake lights don't work either, the fuse for the stop lights is fine, but no stop lights..

first off, think back to anything you have done to the car most recently and look in the area.
sounds like a shorted socket, wrong bulb or pinched wire, could be from something recently done if so.
There are lots of circuits that feed off another so check all the fuses with a test light.

okay, i'm thinking it's a corner light, because i messed with those yesterday when i was priming the fender and the corner lights aren't working either

Well, i figured it out. for some reason, the brake light fuse has a wire in it leading to the brake lights, and in the middle of that wire there is a fuse that i never noticed before that was blown, replaced that and everything worked fine.
