    im posting about my brake light fuse that keeps blowing.on my 360 f1 spider..i ordered a new brake light switch because that was bad..but has anyone else had this problem....p.s i just had a new exhaust and clutch put in and put about 150 miles on the car before this problem began.....also when i adjust the brake light switch and replace the fuse it works until i turn it off again and then the fuse blows....

    Sounds like a short in the system. Start by checking the bulb and then the wire harness to make sure it isn't pinched somewhere from a recent service or project. Using a multimeter could help identifying a grounded positive line or a short.

    In the video you said you disconnected and reconnected the right hand connector behind the seats (6G/11G) and the fuse stopped blowing and then you disconnected and reconnected another connector (1G/1H?) which fed the left hand side tail lights and it also made the fuse stop blowing. This doesn't make any sense to me. Did you mean you disconnected these plugs and the fuse stopped blowing?
