Before getting too involved, first remove all the stop and taillight bulbs, and see whether the fuse remains intact. It may be necessary to remove the front clearance bulbs as well.
If the fuse still blows, carefully inspect all the bulb sockets for signs of wires touching. Repair anything you see.
If I remember right, there is a set of connectors within the boot (trunk) of the car. If the problem persists, disconnect all of them. Try the fuse blowing bit again.
If it still blows, the problem must be between the switch and the rear.
If you have one, an ohmmeter check between the "dead" contact of the fuse holder (no fuse fitted)and chassis ground may show a dead short. Tyring each of the connectors in the boot in a similar manner may isolate one particular wire. Then you know what colour wire you are looking for.
Then it's just a matter of tracing the wiring loom back (I think it runs under the floor coverings from memory?), until you find the damage.
A wiring diagram won't really help, lights are always wired in a simple circuit. Somewhere the wire from the switch will split to go to the other light(s), and a short could be in the second or other wire.
I have seen shorts occur even IN light bulbs... so if the fuse doesn't blow after removing the bulbs, check each one before replacing!

2001 Nissan Pathfinder keeps blowing fuse for tail lights every time I turn on lights it pops the fuse its driving me crazy. Please help.

Follow the wires from the tail light and look for wires that have rubbed through the insulation. Also check anywhere where those wires travel through a hole in the bodywork. That is where the dead short is. And check the wires behind the fuse box.

The one fuse keeps burning out why?

There's either a power drain on that circuit or a short circuit. It could also be a loose wire or 'bad earth' around the tail lights.
It may be nothing more than a 'bad earth' or loose power wire touching earth around the tail lights.

An auto electrician would pinpoint the problem in minutes

Fuse for tail lights keeps blowing

You have a serious short circuit in the wiring to the tail lights. Fuses protect the wiring in your vehicle from catching fire.
You need to trace the tail light wiring from the fuse box to the tail lights to locate the fault/short circuit.
A wiring diagram can help as it shows the colour code of the wires to the tail lights.
This problem can be difficult to trace and you most likely need an auto electrician to fix this problem. It could mean installing a new wire to the tail lights as a quicker fix and bypass the fault..
