Ok, I checked all my bulbs, etc. and I found no corrosion or such, and wiring looks good, (where visible). When I put in a fuse for the brakes, the brake lights work fine. BUT, if I put on my turn signal, it pops the brake fuse, even if I'm not on the brake.. Help, heh, its not too bad becuase at night, my parking lights and my turn signals still flash, just that the people behind me don't know when I'm stopping. Where to look!?!?

Here's a schematic of the brake and turn sigs in PDF format.

It seems that if your foot is not on the brake pedal and the brake lite switch is open, the only path to draw current from the brake lite fuse is through the hazard flasher and hazard switch. You might pull the hazard flasher and see if you still blow a fuse. Keep us updated.

also try taking out the 3rd brake light. stupid thing is halogen and might be drawing to much current. (just a guess but simple enough to try)
