Default short to ground?79 Bonneville..

79 Bonne,was fine when I parked it LOL...Been driving my 97 T/A convertible so the Bonne has been sitting a while...Drove it last week and wondered why people got on my ass when I hit the brakes...Asked my friend to see if I had brake lights when I hit the pedal. NO..... fuse was good, had power to rear plug,BUT when plugged in nothing to the other side of the harness plug????Been driving me insane for a few days now.replaced the turn sig switch thinking it had something to do with it..Nope..So after pulling on the harness and other stuff,I now have brake lights BUT the fuse gets super hot but won't pop no matter what amp fuse I use...So I give up,have brake lights now,but will have to put in park at stop lights,,the fuse gets so hot,I don't want the car to go up in flames...any thoughts??? It is a little rusty,water gets in the front at the windshield. Vinyl top car ..
