Fuse Keeps Blowing

[pimpdog35]

Hello, I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima and my rear tail lights are not working at all but the brake lights and hazard lights work since those use different bulbs. All i know is that whenever i put in a new fuse for the tail lights and turn my lights on then the fuse instantly blows and i can hear it pop. Probably a short circuit somewhere in the wiring but any idea on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem and cant drive my car. My "Stop Lamp" fuse keeps blowing... I replace it with a new one, and as soon as I press the brake pedal the fuse blows.
I cant drive the car because the shifter doesnt go out of park, and the override slot isnt working either. Im starting to hate my car.

Have you checked you bulbs for incorrect installation? replace the fuse with a breaker and shake the harness the full length until they stay working. Techs use a breaker and have a tool that picks up on the RF (radio frequency) created by the arc at the short.
