Wiring Gremlins

So in the last week or so my left turn signal has been on and off not working and today when i looked at it i found that my brake lights/hazard flashers were also not working due to a blown fuse. So after messing with the lights and checking for burnt out bulbs and switching out my flasher both blow fuses now.?!?

So now all my brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights are all out and blow fuses upon replacement. Any ideas on where to start? because hand signals will only due for so long. :roll:

That sounds like you have an inadvertent ground somewhere that is causing a short and therefore causing fuses to blow. Start digging around for chafed wires

yeh i think so too but i'm getting sick of my electrical issues. also i'm gonna put a new tail light plug on the left rear because it is the original one that is full of some nasty dielectric grease. In the past I replaced the right side plug and it seemed to help.

Doubt the socket it's self is the problem. Sounds like moving the harness while putting the new socket on helped. I'd start pulling panels and inspecting the wires like Alec said.
