Default new 93 850 owner

hello everyone I recently picked up a 1993 850 n/a and the problems im having right now is my brake lights keep blowing fuses. They dont blow as soon as I put them in but if I put the headlights on and apply the brakes they blow almost instantly. I put a aftermarket radio in a couple of days ago if that could matter at all.

Also The car idles extremely rough when in drive but at park and neutral it idles pretty smooth and ive done a complete tune up in terms of wires plugs etc.

I can't get the car out of park without hitting the override shift button what is the fix to this?


Thanks.

1. Did this happen after you installed the new stereo?

2. What is the condition of your engine mounts?

Im not sure if it happened before or after the radio was put it in but i did notice when I first bought the car the bulb light on the dash would come on when I hit the brakes for a second.
