Maybe the fuses again?
Or the power wire may have come off the back of the fuse panel?
Both the parkers and brake light are direct power from the battery.
Maybe the fusible link at the starter too?

Is that smoke I smell??
Be careful, the wiring guage is generally light for the fuse rating used from the factory.
Doubling the fuse rating from 15A to 30A allows the temperature to rise beyond that of the insulation rating and it melts.
From there it just gets worse.
Find the fault don't mask it!!
Back to the question at hand:-
Have you noticed where the wiring loom runs in the boot??
Yep, right under all that heavy crap you chuck in there.
Good luck

Same fuse for "Stop (brake) - Tail - Dome - Horn". Replace the fuse again with the same rating, and actuate one of the above at a time, and see which one blows the fuse.
It will usually be a dodgy trailer plug wiring, or the remains of the repair job when the dodgy trailer plug was removed, or it will be the $5 install job on the $350 CD radio which has squashed the night illumination wire against the side of the metal dash or the CD unit. Could also be a rusted out number plate light housing.
Good luck.
