Default BrakeLights/Horn Fuse (15) keeps blowing 98 Civic

Been having this problem since a month now,
First it started off by blowing the fuse and brake light would flash,
Check fluids added more put new fuse and the problem was solved,
One week later it, it started to blow again and it's random it would blow all of a sudden or it would blow an hr later, but brake light doesn't flash anymore.

I checked for any open wires check my bulbs and even changed out my brake relay under/back of the fuse box(Inside)

I ran out of solutions any idea guys?!
It's a Honda Civic Lx 1998

Have you traced all the horn wiring as well for an open short?

^ It wouldnt If there's no power getting to it because of a short somewhere.
Chances are you have an exposed wire somewhere which has eaither cracked due to age or something acidently damaged

Look at the wiring that goes to the trunk, because it's always bending every time to open a close it. Normally that's where you would have a broken wire touching metal or another broken wire. This is a common problem with any vehicle that has wiring going into the trunk/hatch.
