Fuse 38 (brake / reverse lights) blowing

[T6USK]

Hi All

Been out for a run today and guy nearly rear ended me (phew !) - then he overtook (yes I know I not going fast enough for the badge), came to stop at lights, he got out, and advised me my brake lights weren't working.
Got home and checked...defo not working, consulted Mr Varley's manual, located fuse 38 and replaced with another 7.5 amp fuse from board spare. Tested and jobs a good un (smiles with bead of sweat burning one eye).
Put car into reverse to go into garage - heard summat go click, blown fuse again.

Anyone any idea what I check / do next (other than buy another 7.5amp fuse) ??

Help appreciated...
