The Problem: When I press the brake pedal the 15amp #1 fuse blows, and it will not allow me to shift gears.
Known Troubleshooting: So far I have replaced the "Brake light Switch". I have also used a volt meter at the fuse box. Volt test gave me a reading of 14 amps when the brake pedal was depressed. I used a 30amp fuse and it shorts those as well.

Please, please, please can someone give me guidance. I am at my wits end, but I have faith that someone in this forum knows exactly where I should begin. You help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

how many times did you test at the fuse box and does it blow every time?????????

It sounds like you have a direct short, not a faulty switch

have you checked voltage at fuse box before and during depressing the brake??????

I will try to keep up with this diag, my schedule is very hectic right now so please bare with me

Thank you for replying so soon. Yes, I have checked the voltage before and during the depressing of the brake. The #1 fuse blows everytime I press the brake. The hazard lights, turn and tail lights all work fine. only the brakelights don't work. I disconnected all plugs leading to the brakelights and then pressed the brake and recieved the same result, a blown fuse.
