If by "busted" you mean "not working" then you most likely have a wire that is shorting out. Trace all the wires and check them for bare spots. A wire could be "grounding out" and causing fuses to blow.

What will happen to lights connected in parallel when of the lights is busted?
Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.
How do you get brake light and third light working on a ford explorer?
Depending on the year, there may be one fuse for all three brake lights, or two fuses, one for the highmount brake light and one fuse for the two lower brake lights/tail lights. So, if all three brake lights are out, it could be just one fuse or perhaps the brake light switch which is on the brake pedal metal arm assembly.
No brake fluid going to the back brakes?
probably a rust brake line i am having the same trouble and one of the steel lines is busted
What if your brake lights work but not the tail lights?
Look for a fuse labeled TAIL LIGHTS. There are 2 separate circuits, one for brake turn and flasher and the other is for tail lights.
How many brake lights do you need?
You need a minimum of 2 brake lights, So if your car has 3 brake lights and one goes out, you are still legal. Some cars do not come equipped with 3 brake lights but others do such as a honda civic with a spoiler light do.
Why wont your brake light come on when you push the pedal I've changed the bulbs and fuses but the main lights still wont come on only the one above the back doors comes on why is that?
my guess is that it is the brake relay
What would make your brake lights not work?
The most likely cause is a bad brake light switch (if none of the brake lights illuminate) but if its only one of the brake lights, try changing the bulb. Even if they still work as running or turn lights because they have a double filament and may still work partially, but not as brake lights.
What to check when Turn signals and brake lights won't work?
Many cars use the same bulb for the brake and turn indicator. Seems like one is burnt out. Have someone step on the brake and see if one of the brake lights does not respond.
How can someone know if brake lights are not working?
put your foot on the brake pedal and press down while some one looks at the brake light to see if it lights up
How many fuses control the turn signals and brake lights?
It depends on the vehicle but in general you would have one fuse for the signals and one fuse for the brake lights.
You rewired your trailer and you have all of the lights but no brake lights?
Your trailer tailights are dual-filament, with one being the running lights and the other the brake lights. You need a separate power source from your towing vehicle's brake lights to power them. The easiest way to do this is go to U-Haul and but a set of their trailer towing taillight bulbs for your towing vehicle. The bulbs replace your standard tail/brake light bulbs, and they have two wires coming out of the base of the bulb. One of the wires connects to your trailer's running lights, and the other one connects to your trailer's brake light circuit. I'm trusting that when you re-wired your trailer, you ran two wires from the taillight socket, one for the running lights and one for the brake lights. In some trailers, the brake light circuit also doubles as your turn signals. Good Luck.
