Anyone else have this problem? My brake lights work fine when my hatch is open, but as soon as it is closed and I press the brake the fuse goes on me. I have tried looking for shorts and havn't found anything yet. I also tried taping with electrical tape all the metal contacts the hatch makes with the car when it is closed. Still no luck. I have followed the wires back everywhere and everything looks like it has never been moved and everything is soo clean that I don't know what could be shorting.

I know all my lights work as I can see them all light up for a second before the fuse blows.

I think I am going to run to Radio Shack and pick up a self resetting fuse circuit breaker to help me not waste tons of fuses.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and might be able to direct me in a place to look? Thanks,
