Aftermarket Radio is popping rear right taillight 7.5 Fuse

Car: 2003 Mitsubishi Evo 8
Radio: Kenwood KDC-148

My radio that i installed keeps popping the fuse. I have the radio ignition(red) connected to red/black wire and the battery wire(yellow) on the radio connected to the blue/yellow wire, and the ground wire is connected to the black wire. When these are connected, sometimes the radio goes on protect mode. Also, when i turn on my lights, the right rear taillight fuse would pop and it would go off.

Anyone can fix?

I have the exact same car with the exact same problem! lol, who would've guessed. but anyways. i found out that the problem with mine was that my radio was somehow causing the fuse to pop. perhaps, the frame of the stereo was grounding out with the car.

You have the dimmer switch grounding behind the radio. Pull all the radio stuff back out and cover loose ends.
