1997 Chevy S-10 Brake lights

The problem started when the blinkers went out once that happened the brake lights went next. Was told to replace brake switch and did that but fuse still blows when I replace. Then was told to replace blinker switch which have done as well still shorts out brake light fuse. When the car is on and the lights are on the brake lights are lit. I know it is probably a short somewhere but is this a known problem with this vehicle? and where can I go from here? Thank you,
