If the fuse keeps popping, it's for a reason. Something is shorting that particular circuit.

Check your wiring especially in the hatch. Make sure nothing got pinched or cut.

You should also check the light sockets in the rear. Sometimes a badly rusted socket can cause a fuse to continue to blow, or water in the light can do the same thing.

You might also consider checking the brake lamp switch at the brake pedal. Sometimes these switches stop working (short out) and it will cause the same problem you are talking about. just an idea...good luck!
