I posted this earlier and have narrowed it down a bit more, but still can't figure it out.
I keep blowing the 15A fuse that runs the turn signals and reverse lights. It only seems to blow when I have the flasher in (I've tried different flashers) and the ignition is turned on. That leads me to believe the problem is in the flasher circuit. Brake lights are fine as are the hazards, so I'm also thinking the problem is before the taillight assembly).
Couple questions:
If the fuse is blowing, that generally means a short (as opposed to a bad ground) right? (or wires touching)
Any suggestions where to look or a methodology that doesn't involve me trying to trace the entire circuit?
Would putting a 20A in do any damage? (feel free to chastise me for this one, I know it's wrong, but I'm lazy)
Thanks.
