Ok, first, welcome to FTE and the Big Bronco Forum.
Let's establish a couple of things first. What model year is your truck (assuming it is a Bronco)? Which fuse is blowing? (They are numbered on the door of the fuse block). Can you make the fuse break by applying the brakes or turning some lights on or does it take time before the fuse blows?
With these additional details we may be able to narrow down the problem.

Have you recently done any wiring work on your truck near the tail lights? If not I would check to see if you have a wire that is bare somewhere between the driver and the taillights that may touch metal occasionally.

That's a contact problem in the switch itself and probably the cause of the blown fuses. If you just replaced the main light switch, take it out and take it back.

Taking the old switch out, which is the new one, and taking it back to get a new newer one, which would be switch 2, will let re-install the switch 2 correctly. Thus correcting the problem that was created when you installed the ole switch incorrectly in the first place.
