Default Lexus is250 f sport 2014 Tail light Problem

okay so in the front under the driver side steering wheel is a fuse box and there’s a 15amp fuse that goes to the tailights and also my day time running lights and it popped and now everytime i put a new one in and start the car up it pops so the tailights haven’t been working but also my blinkers and break lights work

You’ve got a short circuit somewhere. Need to disconnect items controlled by that fuse until you find the culprit. Could even be a short in a wiring harness. Got any critters like mice that may have chewed on the wiring?

Maybe water intrusion into the aftermarket items. I’d start by disconnecting the newest items first. And probably a good supply of fuses.

So the door slam scenario is when the car is not running, but the lights are on? (Your first post stated that the fuse blows when starting the car.)
Sounds like a loose wire that shorts to ground upon some movement of the car.
