i traced the rear break light wires and found that about 5 of them were crushed in the boot and touching each other so i taped them up but that still didnt fix the problem, so i then went to the shop changed the globes and the brake sensor and so far so good hasnt blown the fuse yet but ill take it for a test drive and see what happens after that
thanks guys for helpin me out fingers crossed

You can use a multimeter to test for shorts, you can probably pick one up for about $10 (Bunnings maybe?) if you don't have one. The best way to test would be at the light fitting itself and test for continuity from each wire to the body. Ground one side of the multimeter to the body and use the other on the terminals in the plug. Obviously one should be ground and the other shouldn't. You should be able to narrow down the problem that way.
