tail light fuse keep blowin... WTF!!!

anyone know why my tail light fuse keeps blowin?

I got pulled over the other night with cop sayin my tail lights are busted... i was like what the ****??

There was a clifford alarm system put in before i bought the car. I've disabled it since. Not sure if the alarm system borrowed any wires from the tail lights to operate. Anyone have this problem before?

Any help appreciated.. thx.

I had the same problem it ended up being my brake light switch, I'd blow a fuse every few hours or days literally.

Dude the only reason that a fuse would keep on blowing is that you have a short somewhere. I had that problem before on a Ford.

IF your tail light is broken and is able to let water or condinsation in there, it will blow the fuse, I see it all the time at work with people that are too lazy to get new taillights ( I work at a dealer)
