Brake fuse blows as soon as replaced 2001 ford taurus

Check Fuses and Relays, but this has a GEM (general electronics module). You may need and auto-electrician as nothing covers brake lights, but that may be a fault with the brake light switch.

I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM ONCE AND ALL IT WAS, WAS THE CONECTION IN THE TAIL WAS CORRODED AND IT TOOK SOME CLEANING BUT I CHECKED FOR RELAYS AND ALL FUSES FIRST

Hi Terry.
Did you check fuses at fuses panel ?
and if fuses are ok,did you open defective brake lights to see if they are not burned out ?

Remember that when you THINK the AC's off,it's really not.Almost all cars have the AC compressor actuate every time you set the dial to `defrost' or `mix' positions.
On a TAURUS there are only two positions(maybe three)which DON'T kick the AC on.On some cars,that's the 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions on the selector.

SO...........the odds are that the compressor magnetic clutch or wiring to it has shorted.Because you really have power going there even when you think you don't. (:^) don-ohio

Probably a short in the multifunction switch..The switch can cause problems with the brake lights,,the wipers,,,and the blinkers

Hello! The fuse is # 213 (20A) located in the Central Junction Box...The CJB is located under the dash to the right of the brake pedal (between the brake pedal and hood release....Guru...Saailer

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by

the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses.

To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the fuse panel
cover. Fuse 27 is the ABS fuse

Look for a short on the LG/R wire coming out of the BOO (brake on/off) switch.

You can get a .pdf version of the 2001 Ford Taurus Owner's Manual at: http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/OwnerGuidePage&year=2001&make=Ford&model=Taurus

It has instructions and guides for finding and replacing the fuses in a 2001 Ford Taurus. It starts on page 146-147.

Always use the specific Owner's Manual for the correct Model Year of a Ford or Mercury vehicle. I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Taurus, and had thought that I could use the Owner's Manual from a 1999 Mercury Sable from a friend. BUT, I figured out that each model year can be very different (before any serious damage happened.) Good luck.
