Default Right side Turn Signals dont signal & blows fuse?

this was also posted in lighing forums and they are no use of help.

in need of help right now. college just started. and my car started to act up.

i drive a 91 civic sedan. ive done the wire tuck about almost a year ago. everything is done clean. just yesterday i was at a friends house til about 12 midnight. i was going home and i signal right and i hear the tic tic tic but it doesnt show it on my cluster with the green arrow. when signaling right my tach/clock all goes the up and down with the same rhythm as the tic tic tic. i go outside and look at the lights when signaling and the right side lights just dim, bright, dim, bright etc. it doesnt do off/on/off/on like its suppose to do.

then i notice my fuel gauge goes past empty. i checked the fuse which is a 10 (red) and its blown. slot is the turn signals. i replace with a spare and blows that as well along with 2 more.

so today i took my front bumper off and all my corner lights rechecked my wires for loose ground on the wire or if positive is touching negitive. all is good. i go and turn the right signal back on, same problem..

im out of ideas and im hoping the Lighting forum could help on this one. i dont want to be followed by cops and pass my turn cause i cant signal right (which there are 2 right turns and cops are chillen on the hills.)

Sounds like you have a wire grounded out...esp from the wire tuck. Start checking all the wires for damage.

I would have to agree with him. Or your relay could be bad or going bad. That really sucks buddy, I hope you're able to fix it.

The turn signal relay is in the under dash fuse block
at the upper left hand corner..

One common cause can be the turn signal has water inside..
