    Default wierd brake light problem

    okay so everytime i put my foot on the brake i poop a fuse straight away

    now the bulbs are fine, light up with headlights on etc

    checked the lights and wires at the taillights everything looks fine

    what could cause this?

    Check the trailer wiring plug if theres one fitted.Sometimes these wires can be pulled half out of their sockets and they touch eachother,this would cause the fuse to blow each time the brake light comes on.A lot of the commodore genuine trailer wiring harnesses can be unplugged from the cars wiring in the boot on the drivers side,this is probably the easiest way to confirm if its faulty or not.

    Have you recently changed stoplight bulbs?....it is easy to fit the wrong type which will short the circuit.
