Blown stop light fuse
As soon as I attempt to replace the brake light fuse it blows ,my turn signal fuse was also blown. I replaced the turn signal fuse but the signals dont work, does it have any correlation to the blown brake light fuse that keeps blowing

Concerning the turn signals, when you say they dont work, do the turn indicator lights on the instrument cluster light up?
If they do and dont blink, have you checked the front and rear for a burnt out bulb?
Concerning the brake lights, have you looked at the condition of the bulb sockets which may be related to the first problem?
Could you also either complete your profile or state what year the car is?

If the fuse blows as soon as you install it, you have a dead short. Possibly the wiring harness got too hot and melted some insulation, or a wire is touching the engine that isn't supposed to. Or some other metal on the frame. The fiberglass bodies do not conduct electricity.
