Hey, just the other night my dash lights and taillights all went at the same time every time I add another 15amp fuse to #2 in the under hood fuse box it blows (I do have an aftermarket radio but the radio still works good) I tried switching bulbs but still blows the fuse I need help.

Yep, fuse #2 goes to the taillight relay, I would remove the lens and looks for a melted bulb end or light socket weather damage. This is a common reason for the fuse to blow. This guide can help:

If all of the bulbs look okay, I would swap out the taillight relay, here is the location. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
