If my lights are off my, brake lights work and turn signals work.
If my parking lights are set to on, my left parking lights work, and so do the brake lights and the turn signals.
If my headlights are on, my brake lights, and all my running lights don't work, only my turn signals.
This leaves me in a pretty bad situation... I wouldn't be able to drive at night since only the headlights would be on... Guys, you're the experts, where do I go from here.
edit: I also checked all the fuses and they were all fine, except obviously the right side marker light fuses

So now I'm thinking that maybe I have a problem with one of the bulb wiring in my car and that's why the fuse kept blowing. And maybe putting the load on the system so many times caused the switch to break also? Does this make sense to anybody else?

Have you swapped the switch yet?

Just bought a switch on ebay, I'm pretty sure it's that, and there's also a short to the right rear taillight, but it only happens when the bulb is in the socket, not sure why, but i'll have to investigate that

The two contacts in your socket could be touching when you put the bulb in, causing a dead short. I had this happen on my Western Star ('semi truck).
