keep blowing fuses Recently my car decided to keep poppin the fuse to my turn signals...which is annoying because at night it keeps my headlights from coming on automatically...a friendly cop notified me of that....lol. At first i thought it was where I hooked up my reverse lights on my B&M shifter..but the wires arent touching. Anybody have any other ideas or where else to look for the most likely short?

Well its odd, everything was working for a little bit...maybe 4hrs of runtime. Check engine light went off by its self, car seemed to be driving better, then poof, fuse blown again for no reason and back to square one.

If its not popping immediatly you probably have a chaffed wire that grounds out with vibration. look at areas where the wiring is close to the frame or where wires bend at extreme angles. You could also quickly eliminate a few things by running your own grounds to those lights. If the fuse pops again then you know its the power wire side thats shorted.
