well sorry to ask a daft question but are you putting the correct fuse rating in?
my radio kept blowing fuses till i realised i needed a higher rated one!

Correct fuse is 7.5A, so you'll not likely be fitting anything much to small!
No common known faults with the brakelight circuit, so you'll have to work through the wiring looking for damage.
Have you managed to work out if the fuse blows before you use the brakes, exactly when you use the brakes, or at some random time?
Map reading light and cruise control are on the same fuse, if fitted.
