Default Brake fuse keeps blowing

Anybody got a wiring diagram of the brake system electrical. My brake light fuse in the engine bay keeps blowing out even without pressing in the brake pedal just by putting in a new fuse. There was water all over the rear tail light wiring but i dried it all up and rechecked the wiring in the back and it's fine now.

Im thinking I have a short somewhere in the front area but am also curious if somebody had a diy on how to run a new power wire without having to rip out the entire car wiring. This is for my 91 civic lx sedan.

Oh, now you gone and done it!!! You broke your car so now you want to go breaking Honda-Tech Sub-Forum Rules too!!! I don't think so mister!

Did you actually pull all the bulbs out and check for water in the sockets?

Search n00b!!!

Run a lead from after the fuse to the rear of the car and check for continuity at the positive side for the bulb. After that check for continuity to ground (or you could just check all the wires for continuity to ground). I have seen weird stuff happen like polarities getting switched due to water as well.
