Subject:      Blinker fuses keep blowing
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


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
