'98 Camry 10A Tailight fuse blows

This fuse keeps blowing. I fixed the cables in the trunk, but I installed a line output converter to my factory radio and hooked up an amp and a sub. Ever since I did this the tailight fuse blows instantly, I already tried disconecting the dimer wire. Any suggestions?
Nevermind, upon further inspection it was the taillight cables in the trunk, one of the wires from my previous "repair" came lose causing it to blow. Thanks for your help.

Taillight fuse connects to wireless door locks control, engine computer, front and rear parking lights, license plate lamp and the combo tail and brake lights.

The rear tail light power passes throuh a "burnt out" tail light sensor mounted in the trunk typically near the power antenna motor. Could be an issue with the sensor.

Dimmer not on the circuit.

What wire did you hook the amp up too?

You may have cut a wire for the tail lights when running the amp wires. Causing it to short out on the body of the car.
