Turn Signal Fuse Keeps Blowing Up And Indicators Stop Working

[nnt]

Hey guys!

Just the other day driving home I indicated in to a servo and after one click it just died. I checked the fuse box and found the turn signal fuse blew up, same with the hazard one. Got them both changed and after driving around a few corners it blows up again. Changed the combo switch (stalk), put in new fuses, still blew them all up. It also killed my alarm as its connected to blinkers, but its now disconnected from the blinkers so it works like normal now. So im wondering if anyone know what the problem could be? As its strong enough to kill my alarm, I doubt it could be the flasher relay?

And ive also noticed I got a electronic flasher can, this is from the previous owner. I think the reason why he put it there is because I got the front blinkers hooked on to the parkers as its an aftermarket front bar, so the front blinkers sit at the corner of the headlight using parkers which shouldnt be the cause? Been driving around for ages without this happening, just recently happen out of nowhere.

Thanks for the help in advance guys!

It may be the alarm system causing the short.

Or if ur car is low check above the front wheels to make sure the tyre hasnt rubbed through the wiring loom

I doubt it is the alarm system, I have disconnected my alarm relating to the blinkers now, and the fuses still keeps going, thats why i reckon its not the alarm thats causing the short. Totally forgot about the wiring loom above my wheels, gotta check it out, thanks mate!

Turn signals lights usually use a single element 1156 bulb, brake/tail lights and sometimes turn signals use 1157 bulbs (dual filament 5w/21w etc). The only difference between the 2 is obviously the single/dual filament and the placement of the prongs. Someone might have put a 1157 bulb where a 1156 was needed or vice versa. I know it's possible to force either into the opposing socket, and wierd things can happen. I've done this myself on my motorbike's tail light.

Take out all the blinker globes and see if the fuse still pops.

U have done the correct thing eliminating the alarm

Does the fuse blow when the stalk is going left, neutral or right?

re the front indicator globes 21w? If not that will be the reason for the electronic flasher unit. They are generally fitted when led lights are installed. Fitting a standard flasher unit will result in a fasy flash rate. Have you inspected the flasher unit as i have seen them short internally. The other thing would be to try your hazard light and see if that causes the fuse to blow.
