Try removing bulbs from all exterior lights turn switch on to see if fuse blows--if not replace one bulb at a time to determine where problem is. If fuse blows without bulbs could very well be switch "dead shorted" to ground
IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO IF YOU FIGURE IT OUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT GODLIVERKILLA@YAHOO.COM A mechanic told me that the switch that is on the column is usually the problem. Cost about 70.00 . Raygracik@msn.com

There is a switch just above the brake pedal that is called the brake stoplight switch. When the brake pedal is released, it stops the brake lights from illuminating. Check to make sure the switch is contacting the brake pedal stop where it should. A short term method of not killing the battery would be to unplug the connector to the switch and get a new one. It won't have brake lights when disconnected so I don't recommend driving with it like that. replace the broken switch
If a fuse blows you probably have a short or the circuit is overloaded.
Start by checking the switch for the pedal on the steering column. It's a common place for a malfunction.
It can be: * The headlight switch (there are multiple parts to the switch, for headlights, tail lights, dash lights) * A fuse (but if a fuse has blown out you need to figure out why, typically that's caused by a short) * A bad wire or connector.
A fuse blows when there is a short circuit or an overload in the circuit.
You have a dead short in the wiring somewhere. It can also be the socket that one of the bulbs screws into is corroded or shorted out. You will have to inspect all the wiring to the fog lights and find the short.
You have a short! The "smoke" is most likely the plasic coating of the wires. I strongly recomend you not drive it until it's checked out by a qualified mechanic.
A short in the turn signal switch or the wire in the steering column is shorted. There is more likely a short in one of the bulbs. easy to find remove bulbs until the bad one is found then replace

Blown fuse. If you replace the blown fuse and it blows again, you have a short in the tail light/dash light circuit. It's going to take some detective work to locate the source of the problem.
First. It sounds like you have some wires in the wrong place. At no time should anything you do concerning your rear lights affect your wipers. You also probably have a short circuit or a broken wire somewhere.
