Brake lights don't work, need help
 
Hey everybody, as stated my brake lights no longer work when I press on the brake pedal. My tail lights and turn signals work with no problems, but either way the brake lights won't activate.

I do have ralliart tails installed on my 08, and I have noticed that the fuse for the lights is blown.

I have replaced the fuse and it just blows as soon as I step on the pedal. I have taken out fuses for the sound system and my AEM boost gauge and the fuse still blows.

I no longer have my stock 08 tails to put back in to try that, so I'm pretty stumped.

I'm also getting service required lights on my dash that I feel may be associated with this issue due to the warnings only appearing when I come to a come to a stop after driving for a few miles. The warnings then reset after I turn the car off.

Any help will be very appreciated, as to the last thing I want to do is take the car to the stealership :(

Cliffs: (tl;dr)
Brake lights don't work
Brake light fuses keep blowing
Dont know what's wrong
?????
Profit (hopefully)

Maybe a short somewhere in the wiring harness...

Unfortunately that's what I'm thinking too...
