Default Fuse Blows when brakes are pushed.

Ok guys on 1996 Mits Eclipse GS.... every time the brakes are pushed blows brake fuse. When turn signals are on blows that fuse, when hazards are on it blows that fuse..... anyone know what the hell is going on?

You had better fix that....Do not take it lightly... my car caught FIRE when my fuses blew out... I would replace them...and they would blow out again. Then I couldnt drive my car at night at all for about a month. Then I started my car one evening and I was driving off... my car filled up with smoke (more than a puff of smoke, but couldnt see out of the window smoke)... and burned my wire harness behind the dash. I had to rewire my entire harness (behind the dash and under the hood to the fues box) Dont play around with that...get it taken care of.

Ive seen this tons of times on 2g's.The bulb sockets that hold the brake lights have moisture in them.It usually happens when its rained or you washed your car.This might not help but it doesnt hurt to try.
