Radio Fuse Blows When Braking..?

Radio Fuse Blows When Braking..?
Hey guys. New here, and also a new Maxima owner. I just purchased a 95 Maxima for $500 that needed a starter. Fixed that, and then noticed the radio wasn't working. Checked the fuses, and sure enough, the radio fuse was blown. Replaced the fuse, radio came back on, but only works until hit my brake pedal, and then the fuse blows again. Sometimes it doesn't happen until the second or third time braking. I searched the forums and found no problems that involved the fuse blowing when braking. Has anyone had this issue? Or do any of you have any idea where to even start in terms of checking wiring?
I should also note that it is the stock Bose radio, and there are no modifications done to the car. All other electronics works aside from the dash clock.
Thanks guys

There are a couple of audio fuses. Which fuse is blowing? 10 amp or 15 amp? Does the clock go out at the same time? Could be an exposed wire that is moving and makes contact with ground or another wire when the vehicle is stopping. Does this happen if you are parked and you apply the brake or only when moving?

Sorry just read the rest of your post. The clock, audio and power antenna are all on the same 10 amp fuse. You probably have an exposed wire at one of those. Disconnect the power to the antenna and see if that helps. Otherwise pull the radio and take a good look at the wiring back there.

Ahh, got you. Yeah I'll try that. Won't have time to mess with it until tomorrow, so I won't be able to let you guys know the issue for a day or two.
