Check the green/purple wire running to the rear brake light. It is probably grounded somewhere. This wire comes from both the front and rear brake light switches and runs all the way to the rear light. Since the fuse only blows when you activate either switch, the affected wire has to be between either switch and the brake light.

Note, the same fuse feeds the horn and signal lights. These circuits are not the problem though since the problem only happens when you apply the brakes.

- Make sure you check the wires running under the rear fender going to the light. Often chaff here.
- Check the element on the bulb to see if it isn't broken and shorted.
- Check the wiring going to each switch (Not sure where the brake light from the hand switch travels...you might have to follow it all the way back.)



Looks like I am going to have to try this. Not looking forward to having to track the wire. They are bound rather tight. On my way to pick up a multimeter.
