Default Need help with tail light problems

Ok so I had #7 fuse in kick panel blow every time I replaced it until I replaced the brake/tail light bulb socket driver side. Was working beautifully until I drove it to get a pack of smokes. Then found fuse blown again. With that my fog light up front and running light rear both driver side won't come on but brake light does. So I pulled apart the panel in the rear searched for a short and found nothing. Pulled trailer harness out a while ago too. Pulled all connectors apart there and the one in front of air box under hood all checked out good. Pulled c7 connector from kick panel and urieka every thing worked. Plugged it back in just to see what would happen and strangely everything was fine until I hit my brakes. And the driver side won't light up when brakes applied. Also top brake light in hatch is a no go. I've been battling this with frustration. Read lots of threads and they helped until now. No idea what's going on and I HATE electricity. Pleaseeee some one help!

Is the wiring in the loom going from the body to the hatch intact?
