Did you check your bulbs? Some cars do that to let the driver know the bulb is out.

i had a similar problem on my 00, the signal would stick
it was the flasher for me, on the late years they are a relay style i don't know about earlier ones
not sure if the 91 in your screen name is your year

Do you have a trailer hitch? Possibly a funky trailer wiring setup with a short in it?

Sounds like it is something with the rear hatch/trailer wiring going to a direct ground.

You could try disconnecting things back there one at a time and see if you can find out which part of the circuit is affected. Might take less fuses if you disconnect everything, then add things back one at a time until you get a blown fuse.
