NEVER do this unless you have a fire extinguisher handy, or like replacing wire harnesses.

First find out what is supposed to be in there. if the fuse is smaller then the one that should be in there, get a bigger one, if it is the same, find the short.

..or even better... bypass the fuse and just jam a wire in there

Learning how to use a voltmeter/ohmeter will help you greatly.

my advise, take off that damn electrical tape and use some heat-shrink tubing. I HATE electrical tape, haha, i use it for loom and stuff, but not for anything electrical unless i absolutly have to.

This may sound stupid. But any water in tail light assy? Or corrosion in
bulb sockets. I know when it rained hard my tail light BULBS kept blowin up.
