5 amp fuse blows when brake button pushed when i start my 185 it starts fine and the seatbelt and seat switches work fine they ave even been replaced but when i push the brake lock switch the 5 amp fuse in the fusebox blow and it quits. It started doing it after it as used for a little while then it got worse and worse til now it blows as soon as i hit the button. any suggestions.

    You have something in the system pulling too many amps. I would first unplug the wire connection on the brake coil. If it stops blowing the fuse chances are the coil is bad. If it still blows start looking for a short in the harness. JJ
