Keep blowing brake light fuse. Need Help!

Just like it says, I keep blowing the brake light fuse in my 86 IROC. I need a diagram or something for the entire brake light system (including the hatch mounted brake light) .

I'm wondering if it is possible, that since I disconnected the third brake light, and removed the little connector panel from the top of the hatch (that touches the plate on the hatch motor cover) it is causing it to short out.

Does the fuse blow immediately, or only after the brake pedal is depressed?

Got it fixed. The fuse was blowing immediatley. Found out it was wired up with the "key in ignition" alarm on the fuse. I pulled the box and the fuse quit blowing.
