Thanks for your reply, Cougar. I pulled the taillight lens and looked at the wires, They are somewhat brittle, but I did not see any melting. I do not have a trailer wiring harness. The fuses have gone from lasting a week to going out almost immediatly.

I have a 09 Outback that has started blowing stop light fuses (brake lights. ) When this happens the ABS and traction control dash lights come on. I assume there is a short in the brake light wiring harness somewhere. I am not sure how the ABS is connected to this. I have replaced the 20 amp fuse twice. Today it blew out for the third time. The fuses work for about a week. I know when it has blown because the ABS light comes on. How do I try to track down the short? Thanks
