Default Brake lamp fuse keeps blowing

Hey guys any idea why this would be happening. I have the defi control box signal so the box can illuminate hooked up to the parking brake light wire and it blew the fuse then i tried it without the box hooked up and it blew it again it happens in matter of seconds after you put the new fuse and put on the parking lights. Only thing that i can think of is that its shorting out any other ideas let me know thanks

Blowing a fuse like that is pretty much always a short.

I helped my friend fix this problem in his Pontiac. I looked under the dash around the brake pedal. One of the wires down there was chaffed and was shorting out.

He said he noticed a flash of light under the dash once while driving.

Good luck!
