It could be the stop light switch although the circuit goes through the turn signal switch.

B R A K E!
For the love of pete.
You have a bad short somewhere. Have you done any mods (new sound system, etc)? If so check to see if you hit any wires in the process. If not try starting at the brake light switch on the pedal.
Sorry for the rant.
Good hunting and let us know. :)

Suggested Repair
Look for a short in the brake-light circuit. Start at the brake-light switch on the pedal, and also check the turn-signal switch since the circuit passes through it. If a stereo or other accessory was recently installed, inspect nearby wiring for damage.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a Saturn reported that the brake lights did not work after the bulbs and fuse were replaced, and the fuse kept blowing. Experts said a short was likely and suggested checking the brake-light switch at the pedal, the turn-signal switch, and any wiring disturbed by recent modifications. The owner thanked them, but no repair was confirmed.
