You will be getting some great advice on this bbs of which this response is not, but here goes.
You should definitely check your taillight wiring for a short to the body from the hot lead. You can buy a cheap needle electrical tester which will help you identify which is the hot side (actually, you will need power to use this tester. )
So, maybe pull the light bulb in the rear and replace the fuse. If okay, you short is downstream of the bulb. Then try the running light bulb and replace the rear bulb light (now your tester will work). Continue checking.
Bottom line is you need to hunt for the short. Maybe someone else can give much better advice.
