Short in the wiring

Okay i just replaced the steering column in my 90 Chevky K1500. when the wheel is straight the lights dim out, but when the wheel is turned in either direction the lights are normal. My tail lights and brake lights are also out, but they werent before. When my left signal is on it runs bright and strong but the right signal is almost like my hazards the left is dim and slow but the right is strong. Any ieas where the short could be.
