Strange Short- brakes and parking lights

[pakratt]

I keep blowing fuses on brakes and parking lights-- I notice that my temp gauge needle will be at about the "2 o'clock" position, and then when I turn the lights on - when the engine is off-- it swings all the way to the right. Then eventually I start blowing fuses. I replaced the light switch in the dash and it seemed to fix it for about a week-- and now it has started the whole thing over again.

Any ideas?

The only long term/serious electrical prob that I had
was a starting one that was mostly solved by adding
more/thicker ground cables.
