Signal lights blowing fuses

[Mr. Slate 10+ year member]

They work fine for parking lights but when the signal is activated the fuse automatically blows.

Any suggestions on what it could be?

Almost sounds like a bad relay

prolly too much current going through the fuse //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

thats an easy fix ...it would just need a bigger fuse ...you can always slowly increase fuse sizes 5 amps at a time till they quit blowing then the problem will be fixed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

FAIL if it didnt have a ground the fuse would not blow

That's what I was thinking.

Don't think that's safe.

Blowing fuse sounds like short to ground. Take out all the bulbs. Put each one back in one at a time and use the signals each time. What vehicle is this. Does it have a single fuse for all four. Or a fuse for each side. Most newer cars trucks have two, One for each side.

Funny that you say this guy being doing HUH. When you fail at basic eletrical.

If he didn't have ground how could it short? If you don't know, maybe you never will. Might want to leave your amp installs to the pros btw.

I'd think the relay is internally shorting. Get a multimeter and a 12v supply and test the relay (or buy a new one if you don't have tools to test.) 95% chance it's the relay, or wiring harnesses associated with the relay.
