Default Wierd brake light problem.

So, My 1990 cherokee keeps blowing the brake light fuse. It seems to only happen when I have the turn signals on and take a turn while braking. If i just have the signals on and am moving straight, then I can use the brakes at the same time, but as soon as I turn and use both, fuse blows. Also my hazard lights dont seem to be working at all. Anyone else had a similar problem?? Could it just be a short somewhere in the steering column? Just thought I'd check with you guys first, thanks!

Edit:
Forgot to add, I can turn with the signals off and use the brakes, and everythings good also...

Do you have trailer wiring??? If so, are any of the wires bare? It sounds as if there is a short in the wiring rather than the column
