Have you changed any bulbs lately? Seen wires get pinched in the lens clips when put back together.

you obviously have a direct short to ground........check the turn signal switch and the brake light switch I found one on my 97 that the wire had burned completly off the turn signal switch.....Ive got a schematic if you need more info let me know
