Sounds like a short to ground on the Brake/turn wiring. Start back at the sockets and check the wiring to see if it has rubbed anywhere that would cause it to short out. Or a pinch that would cross wires.

The wiring that goes to the high mount brake light is notorious for rotting through under the door sill.
