A 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix fuse box. Wiring schematic diagram can be obtained from most General Motors dealerships. The diagram can be found at most auto-parts stores.
If it is located where the 2001 Grand Am is, it is in the engine compartment and the fuse block is located on the drivers side, near the battery. It should be fuse number 42- Back-up Lamps, Brake Transaxle, Shift interlock.
It's fuse number 47 in the '01 Montana. It is 47 on most of the GM minivans of that era. See www.mychevy-venture.com/fuses.html for a schematic of the fuse box. You need to open the passenger side door to get at the fuses.
A short in the wiring.
The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.
Most likely a bad bulb, corroded socket or worn/shorted wires. Could be the brake switch too. I'd check in that order. If it ends up being a blown bulb, see sources and related links below for bulb information.
