You'll need to find where the power is coming from if the light switch is off. Could be a faulty switch

#9 fuse keeps blowing

If you have a trailer harness, inspect it carefully , possible shorting wires. Most installers use cheesy scotch-locks or butt connectors and don\'t properly insulate them . If ok, remove tail lite assemblies and unplug harnesses from modules , bulb/socket modules common for shorting out.

On your wireing pig tail do you have one wire going to your brake lites and one tail lites, Then the ground Make sure you have fourway bulbs in your trailer. Good luck to you.

Tail light fuse keeps blowing

it sounds like it may be an electrical problem, you ae going to need to follow the wiring harnesses from the tail lites back to the fuse pannel as well as the dash lites if you don't find where it is shorting out. how ever the first place I would look is to see if you have a plug in for towing a trailer and if so I would start there. I would also check the pigtails where the lites plug in to see if they are all rite.
