usually the connector at the bottom of the steering column. To the brake switch, then out to the lights.
Pretty common for the wire to be worn through in the trunk. Where something cuts or rubs it so it goes straight to ground.

Go to the MSD site. They have a wiring fix to install a diode for the run on problem. I can't remember exactly, but I think it goes in the alternator wiring. You will find you short to ground between the turn signal switch, the output wires to the 4 individual bulbs, or in the sockets and bulbs themselves. Turn the hazards on and wiggle the wires at each location and see if the fuse blows. It only takes a very small nick in the insulation to ground. A good visual inspection will probably locate your problem.
