The most likely cause of your fuse failures would be an intermittent short to ground of the blinker wiring. I would first suspect an old trailer light modification. Pull the rear tail light assemblies and inspect the harnesses for any splices for trailer wiring. Mark David Vickery wrote: > I keep thinking I have this fixed, and it keeps re-emerging. I have replaced the fuse (10amp) several times after trying different things hoping I fixed it, but I don't think I have it figured out yet. First time I just changed fuse, and it was good for while so I thought that was it. Second time I removed blinker bulbs and cleaned up the slightly rusty metal (mostly just the right front blinker). Third time I checked for loose wires under the dash and used a blower to blow out dirt and dust from around the fuse box. 4th time I pulled the steering wheel to see if any wires from the controls were pinched and I replace the headlight switch with a spare. Currently I temporarily have a 15amp fuse in as I am running out of 10amp ones. It hasn't blown yet, but I am not holding my breath. Anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Or a way to test where the short is? Thanks David >
