Default Rear brake light problem

Hi, I have a 98 S70 base model. Recently I have noticed my rear center brake light would not turn on while I step on the brake. I havetook apart and looked at the LED itself and it seems to be fine. Then I checked the main fuse box under the hood. Not sureifit isrelated to rear brake light,that fuse #11 (10A)was burned.

I replaced fuse #11 it but once I started the engine the fuse was burned immediately. Can anyone suggest

- How to diagnostic center brake light problem
- Why fuse #11 burned every time

By the way all other lights in the car are functioning correctly.

Thanks

Are you missing power or ground to the LED light?

What was the listing for the fuse on the cover?
