Actually, I don't know if this has something to do with it, but the turn signal click retainer is broken (meaning the left/right click wont stay on unless I hold it in that position)

I doubt it. The problem is probably the internal switching in the switch as it passes the brake light signal and also sets the blinker signals. If you unplug the switch and still pop the fuse, that's not the problem and it's probably the brake switch on the brake pedal itself. If the fuse doesn't pop... then the problem is either the switch or something further down in the circuit. Considering the dilapidated condition of the MFS, I would wager on it.

The cam in the multi-function switch is probably broken, shorting out and blowing your fuses.
