I had a main 30 amp fuse in distribution box blow which cause the turn signals and flashers to stop working. I replaced the 63.00 flasher and the 30amp fuse and now the turn signals seem to be working but blinking a little faster both sides and also the brake lights are staying on? When I pull the fuse the brake lights go out. So they are apparently tied into that same fuse. HELP?

If the flashers are working, I'm sure they are fine. As far as the brake light, check the switch at the top of the brake pedal. See if it is loose or out of adjustment.

Not loose or out of adjustment. This just happened when I replaced the flasher and 30amp fuse. Yesterday the fuse blew for the second time prior to me changing the flasher. I didn't even know they were on until someone told me.

Something may have damaged the switch. I would check it.

Yes or something may have melted down inside causing it to be on all the time.
