Grounded or crossed wires somewhere.... GL finding it b/c those can be a pain to find sometimes.

Assuming you have an EP3. Do you have an aftermarket spoiler with the third brake light on the spoiler? Check the brake light wires for the spoiler to make sure it's not pinched against the chassis and grounding itself.

Try using a multi meter to test the place the fuse goes in. You can see if it is grounding out from there. Then just find out what wires go to that fuse and test them individually. Find the one that is grounding out and then trace it to where the problem is.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out...

Also what kind of car is it?
