The fuse has nothing to do with the brakes. Check the brake light switch on the pedal bracket. The wires going to the switch maybe rubbing and grounding out.
You could bypass the block and use an inline fuse. The short could be at one of the bulb sockets. Try tracing the short with a probe test light.

I blow fuses randomly for the brakes, and even when I replace the fuse the brakes sometimes don't work. Then they do. Either way, the turn signals always work. This implies the wiring after the fuse block has to be pretty good and it is either the fuse block or the dash wiring. The reason I suspect the fuse block over the dash wiring is that I can play with the fuse and the brake lights will start to work or stop. Assuming it is the fuse block, am I better off replacing it with a stock fuse block, or an aftermarket one with modern fuses?
