Default turn signals

ok guys i asked this question before and dident get many replies so ill try again. my turn signal fuse in the kick panel (7.5) and the hazard fuse under the hood(10) keep blowing i replaced the hazard switch all the fuses and relays and im still have the problem i dont think its the hazards cause i can put a fresh fuse in and leave the hazards on no problems but when im out i can use the turn signals about 3 times maybe thats if im lucky before both fuses blow so im thinking at this point it has to be a short somewhere along the line but i dident know if the headlights and the hazards ran in circuit with each other seeing as they are seperate fuses but then agian its all the same bulb does anyone know a way i can fix this or check to see if its a short and how i can go about doing so thanks

You got told last time you check for shorts.

Did you even do this? Most likely if you keep blowing the fuses you're shorting out the positive lead to ground and overloading the circuit. Get a multimeter and a wiring diagram and start tracing through. We cannot help you find shorts, you need to do it yourself.

I would take the wire from the fuse test the voltage right were that (7.5) fuse is with a dvom test to see how much voltage you have. Then some where down the wire find a spot and test the voltage again if the voltage dropped significantly from the start then you defiantly have a short somewhere. I had the same problem with my left headlight it was much dimmer i found out that part of the positive wire to the bulb was corroded. If you live in weather were there is now then most likely it is corroded... hope that helps
