1990 Geo Prizm 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My fuse box seems to have the brake light fuse area burnt. Every time you put a fuse into it the lights turn on and fizzle out and the fuse burns. Do I have to replace the fuse box, its the one on the driver side beneath the steering wheel. If so where can I get a manual. Or should I leave that to a pro?

The fuse is burning out because something on that specific circuit has wiring issues. Since it's the brake light fuse the most likely culprit would be a faulty brake light switch.

Go to junk yard and get the replacement box from a 90-92 Prizm or Toyota Corolla.
