Change the fuse first(obviously). If it keeps blowing, you have to find where the short circuit is.


Get a manual that will let you trace the wiring from the tail light assembly to its power source. I would check around the light assembly for any bare wires that may be touching ground. Also, check the condition of the wires under the engine bay fuse block.

Something is shorting, you just have to find it. Good luck
