Default fuse 32 keeps blowing in 2000 si

my brake lights work but my corner light, taillights and license plate light dont... i replaced the fuse and it blows the moment i turn on my corners... i unplugged the corners and put a new fuse and it still blew it so i know its not the corner lights... i did the same with the tail lights, unplugged them and put new fuse and blew the moment i turned on my corners... i dont see any shorted wires... in the rear end i replaced every bulb about 3 weeks ago... what could it be? thanks!

Start by checking the parking, taillight, and license plate bulb sockets for signs of damage. If you remove all parking, taillight, and license plate bulbs, does fuse 32 still blow?

Aftermarket stereo installed? If so, check the orange Illumination wire to make sure it isn't grounding out something.

The illumination wire for the radio is protected by fuse 30, and the wires are Red and Red/Blk.

Well after it happened in my hatch and a buddies GSR, I figured I'd offer my fix to the EXACT symptoms the OP is experiencing.

Carefully inspect all of the bulb sockets.

Unplug the connector in the trunk that leads to all of the rear lights. Does this prevent the fuse from blowing?

Does the fuse stop blowing if you unplug the green C551 connector at the rear of the dash fuse box?
