Question Weird break light problem!

Ok so to start off, the other day I removed the right rear tail light to put some smoked tail lights in. They didn't line up(must have been preface lift). Anyhow, I put my old red ones back in and left the car alone for two days. Now I got up and went to work and noticed my display said "brake light" so I checked it out and my bulb blew out, so I replaced it. That lasted me till the end of the block, and it popped up on the display again! So I get to work and find that the fuse has blown, so I replaced it. Everything's fine again. Now the it's back on the display and I noticed when I hit the brake, the lights come on as they should, but so does the front indicator on the side that the bulb was busted. WTF!!!

Sounds like wiring issue. Check insulation around wiring disturbed.
