Check to make sure the light switch is not loose in the dashboard.

We had the EXACT same problem in my g/f's ES. Found one of the rear side marker light's wires had popped off and was shorted against the body, but that still didn't fix it. Could not for the life of me figure out what was wrong. Got out my circuit tracer and started following wires... made it 5 minutes to the light switch, noticed it was loose and would rattle and short out against the metal dash frame, thus blowing the fuse. Tightened it up and it's been fine ever since.
