Brake light/turn light is same circuit; brake light switch on brake pedal sends signal into column. Column sends signal to brake light, but if signal is on it interrupts the brake light and instead sends a blinking signal.

If the column switch is bad it will cause the problem you describe.

Same problem happens all the time for different folks here, happened to me last year. Often it's a bad socket, so worth a shot to try a $8 replacement.
