87 elite it keeps burning my fuses and i still cant find the problem

Regulators occasionally fail internally causing a current draw large enough to blow the fuse.
If fuses are blowing without turning on the ignition, disconnect the rectifier/regulator as a troubleshooting step.

i disconnected it but i have no break light nor high bean now

That isn't your fix, it was only meant to troubleshoot the issue. If it stops blowing you have a bad rectifier.

For troubleshooting purposes, a single strand of wire can be used as a temporary fuse, you have to strip down some stranded wire and put it between some test clamps. Use a mic and do some calculations or just hook up a test piece to an ammeter directly to a battery with a known resistance in series.

If you dont understand this, keep buying fuses, much safer:)

sound like a good idea ill give it a shot wen i get it back from the shop

Comes in handy for those, "Well, I think I found something....nope" events. I usually use small jumper wires as well(to connect to the strand) and make sure I keep everything from any grounds.
