As this issue started when you replaced a bulb you may have inadvertently put a single filament bulb into a dual filament socket.

Remove the new bulb you installed and look into the socket.

If the bottom of the socket has two contacts but your "new" bulb only has one, on it's bottom, then that is the problem. The single contact touches both the brake and the turn-signal contacts in the bottom of the socket at the same time causing the short.

If the correct bulb is in fact installed then check the wiring into the lights. There is probably a short - some bare wires.
