i had a similar problem with my 98
there was a short somewhere in the tail lights/license plate that would blow the fuse instantlyand i just could not identify it.
i ended up rewiring all the way back to the tail and manually splicing everything (major pain) to get them back up and running best as possible.
good luck.

i would get a repair manual to find out which wires you need to find....if you don't get a manual. just look at the colored wires behind the light socket and use that as a color referance..and while you're in the wire harness repairing the broken wires give the other wires a good pull to sure that they're not in the proccess of breaking....
