I've discovered a blown fuse for the drivers' side rear tail light.

Trouble is, whenever I change it. When I put the lights on it just pops again.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do you have a wiring diagram

Most likely is that the positive cable that supplies the lamp is shorting to ground. You could try to measure the short (with a meter if you have one). Then follow the cable from the lamp housing looking for any damaged insulation or damaged grommets where the cable enters or exits through panels.

Also check tow bar wiring if one is connected.

It could also be a failed module on the same feed but shorting to negative.
