Brake Fuse keeps blowing

[SHIFTY]

Weird one, noticed brake lights not working, fuse had blown changed fuse all O.K. went for drive no brake lights fuse blown again.

Changed both bulbs (just in case) after drive fuse blown again.

Have read on earlier bulletins that reverse light can blow fuse(?) when I have changed the fuse reverse light works and all brake lights OK (left all on for over a minute no problem).

Next will be to jack up and remove reverse wire from switch to see if this is causing problem.

Any one any ideas as to if this fuse controls any other bits??,

The break and reverse switches go through the same fuse.

My reverse switch failed causing the fuse to blow whenever I put it in reverse.

There's a connector you can unplug under the centre console to disconnect the reverse switch.

I will have a look at the reverse switch connector and pull the wire as would rather brake lights than reversing light.
