Fuses?

hey guys...ive got a prolem and no money so i was hoping someone here could give me a few words of wisdom. Heres the problem: i have a 90 firebird 3.1 liter V6. The dash lights and tail lights do not work. they are ran on the same circuit which i believe is a 20 amp fuse. i replaced the fuse which was blown the problem first occured, and it worked for about a week. then it blew again and i replaced the fuse again....then it lasted about 10 minutes....then after that it only lasted a split second before it would blow again... any information on what the problem could be or how to fix it would be appreciated... thanks alot. later

loose hot wire. have fun tracing. I would replace, turn on PARKING LAMPS, and check them to see if all working.
If it "pops" when you hit the brake pedal, you know where to start tracing.
Check the rear of the car behind all the useless plastic coverings, I have heard they can fray easily going through that junk.

I though that the Brake lights were on their own circuit?
