Brake Light Fuse Blown - Short Circuit

Anyone experience a blown fuse for the brake lights? My fuse occasionally blows after I replace it. What's the most likely location of the short or is it the brake sensor going bad? Any thoughts.....Would like to find the location of the short without tracing the wiring to the whole car... Thanks.

Also remove each bulb and check inside the sockets for corrosion. Doesn't take much corrosion there to short the circuit.
