My mom turned off my hazard lights for me one day, and when she did, she broke the knob to them, so my hazard lights stayed on. We ended up having to stick something down in the hazard hole to stop the flashers from flashing. I had no problem with it for awhile, and then all of a sudden, I had no brake lights. I changed the fuse, and it blew. Everytime I use the brake pedal, my fuse blows. We cleaned out the hole for the hazard light knob, but it still blows a fuse. What can I do to fix this?

Hi, Just curious, did you try unplugging the hazzard flasher? Probably a long shot. You may need to check the multifunction switch. You could bypass the multifunction switch, just for testing, to see if lower brake lites will work without blowing a fuse.
