Tail Light Fuse blows periodically

The tail light fuse blows occasionally. Like after a 30 minute ride, the fuse is blown. It doesnt blow when I turn it on. I have taken off the tail and body work and have pulled and wiggled the wires to get it to blow in my garage, but I can't get it to blow.

Gone through 5 fuses so far. Any ideas?

are you using the right amperage fuse? try going up a little higher on the fuse and see if it blows. Is it an aftermarket tail light? You tail light might be shorting out.

Sounds like you have a short somewhere in that circuit. Probably only shorts when you hit a bump.
