Blowing fuse when brakes are pushed. One side of switch has +12V the other
side is essentially ground, so when brakes pressed the fuse blows. I am
thinking there is a shorted relay(where is it?), but it just came back from
the paint shop with a replaced right fender and I am thinking they had
something to do with the short. Any incite is appreciated.

It's probably not a relay, most likely you have a short in the
wiring...(the bare wire is touching the body or chassis).
I would start where you recently had work done and start
tracing it out.
