Tail Light/Brake Issues

[pontiacgp]

Ok, I have pink, light green, brown, yellow, and green-blue wires running from the trunk(tail lights) to the Fuse Box, and plug into the right side of the fuse box
Here's a pic of how my fuse box looks, everything's connected.

I can't see the harness for the tail lights in that picture. I have always seen the harness for the rear connected to the left side of the fuse box. After you removed the spliced wire did the fuse blow again?

i had that problem with my 84 and it turned out the aluminum wires on the drivers side in the trunk had a break in one of them. i basically peeled back the black cover about 10 inches from the socket and did a contiuity test on each one. trust me this wire didnt look broken until i actually moved it around a few times and it broke completely. oddly enough tho i twisted em together an badda bing badda boom, everything worked fine ever since. hope it helps man!

I had the same exact problem, I had to do exactly what Pontiacgp is telling you.
I never had a splice, but mine was coming loose and eventually falling out so I had to put it back in and secure it from falling out.
Never had the problem again.

Just something to check homie. BTW, there are cars that use brown for ground wires.
