you have a wiring problem with either the dash lights, the headlight switch, the tail lights or the front clearance lights. If you've had an accident that has caused damage to any of those areas, check that first.

You have a wire with worn insulation or a bad light switch. Go to where the wire is connected to the tail lights. Check the connection between the wire and the tail lights. Check the wire. Look for a place where the insulation is missing or where bare wire touches metal other than the connection to the tail light. If you find it, take some electrical tape and wrap it around the wire at that point. Find the switch where the brake light is activated when you hit the brake. Check for a wire with a piece of missing insulation where bare wire is touching metal. Keep checking. Trace the wire as far as you can. You are looking for loose insulation. If you can get to the brake light control manually, jiggle it by hand. See if that blows a fuse. If it does, you have a bad switch. Next, you start disconnecting if possible. See if you can disconnect the wire from the break switch to the break lights. Then hit the brakes 100 times. If you blow the fuse, it is in the switch. See if you can disconnect the wire from the back lights. If you can, hit the brakes 100 times. See if you can blow the fuse. If you can, it is in the wiring. Connect it back to the left tail light. Then the right tail light.

What causes the tail light fuse to blow on a Nissan Frontier?
Fuses blow because of a over-current (short circuit) or over-heat condition. Look for a short circuit in the tail light circuit. It is also possible that the terminals at the fuse block are corroded, causing heat, which might be causing the blowing out, but highest probability is a short circuit.
