Does the turn signal also blink when brake pedal is pressed? Did you drill any holes or install long screws for the speakers? You may have hit the intermediate harness. I would look behind the drivers side speaker first. (the ones you just installed)

Do the turn signals AND the hazard warning lights work properly?

I can't tell you how many vehicles I've seen that light up one or both "turn signals" when the brakes are pressed; and it turns out that the hazard warning switch is active; but the hazard warning lights don't blink because of an un-related defect.

Repairing the hazard warning lights--and then turning them OFF--solves the problem.
