The cancel cam (blinker switch) inside the column. Sounds like short to power. I'd suspect the headlight switch before the cancel cam.

from whit i see it goes like this
1. power distribution center to 2. stop lamp switchto 3. rear light.
also check fuse #23 it is a 10 amp fuse in the junction block aslo check all conections that plug into it.
Also forgot there is a #7 fuse that leads back that way is also a 10 amp
