Default Taillight fuse blows

the 15A tail light fuse in the drivers kickboard blows once i turn on my lights,, so i have no tail lights or dash lights at night??? anybody know?

it used to only blow when i pulled my E-brake while my lights were on but no it just blows by turning on my lights.

5th gen

mine did that when i changed my radio in my third gen. one of the wires was grounding itself out. yours sounds a little different but it wouldnt hurt to check. also you say it started when you pulled your e brake? check along where your ebrake runs and see if it rubs any wires.

ok, so now its worse. now once i turn on my car even with my ebrake down without turning on my lights the 15A fuse (interior lights) under the hood blows, which control all my inside lights, my headunit and gauges, and door lights.

anyone have any ideas??

It sounds like you have a short somewhere. The only way to diagnose it would be with a multimeter, unless you get lucky and find visible signs of it. I would take it to an automotive electrician.

ok i fixed the problem. it was because of the ebrake. the sensor part that tells u on the dash whether your ebrake is on or not, i guess something was wrong with the wire so i just disconnected it, so wen my ebrake is on it just wont tell me on the dash but i dont really care about that.
