I Have 1998 mercury sable every time i put My foot on the break the fuse blows for the break lights
When I put a new fuse in and press on the break the fuse blows again
what could be the problem why the fuse keeps blowing out when I put new ones in?

Sounds like one of the power feed outputs from the brake switch is shorted to ground somewhere. I would first check and remove all the bulbs and see if its there.
