I have a "95" Suburban that keeps blowing the brake light fuse when the brake pedal is engaged. I have replaced the brake switch and the multifunction switch in the collum, and have traced the wires along the frame to the rear of the vehicle and cannot find a short any where. There is no trailer harness. what else could be the problem? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Spend $6 and replace all of the brake bulbs in the rear. Should fix your problem. Look closely at the bulb sockets for any terminal deformation while you are in there. The rear brake bulb sockets will be filled with greasy, dirty dielectric crap, so you may need to clean that out with solvent to really get a good look at the actual contacts.

these trucks are known for having circuit board problems. When you take the bulbs out of the rear, they plug into the circuit board. Look closely at the board for burns or corrosion. .
Most likely you do have a trailer harness. Its just taped up and balled up and shoved on top of the rear hitch somewhere. Thats how my 95 blazer came be default. It does not have a connector on it. If you have a hitch, you probably have a harness.
