You have a "dead short" somewhere in the circuit. It would appear that a wire has rubbed bare and is touching metal somewhere between the brake pedal and the bulb. The first place I would begin checking is around the rear bumper. Look for places where the wires leave the wire shield and head up towards the lights. Especially where they pass through metal. Perhaps a grommet is missing allowing the wire to rub on metal. There's alot of vibration back there. Have patience and determination and you'll find it. Good Luck.
