Default 10a fr turn light fuse blowing

my 10a fr turn light fuse was blowing every other day. Then decided to blow everytime i replaced it. I have head lights, dome light, radio and clock working.

no turn signals or running lights.

I replaced the fuse today and AMAZINGLY turn signals worked and did not blow. BUt still no running lights.

Where should i be looking at now. Obviously its blowing for a reason. VERY IRRITATING and i GUARANTEE i am overlooking something. THings like this just **** me off and I lose focus. I did not see any other blown fuses pertaining to lights but very easily may have something.

Two questions..

MM&Y of car?

What is fr, "10a fr"?

The park/running lights or on constant power fuse, [hot at all times].

The signal lights are on a switched power fuse, [hot in run and start].

Without knowing the MM&Y of the car, I can't help you beyond that. 94

10a fr turn light is whats labeled on the fuse lid. Its the one on the far right that is separate but attached to the panel in a white clip.

OIC, yes they did that on the 95 for the signal light fuse, [auxiliary fuse holder], that will be a yellow/black lead that runs to the hazard switch, all wiring/bulbs after the hazard switch is the same for hazard lights and signal lights, so if only the signal light fuse blows it is a problem before the hazard switch.

The park/running lights are on fuse 19-10A, [tail light/instrument light/licence light], test that fuse with the park/head light switch on, if not power at the fuse the problem is the combination light switch or wiring between the switch and the fuse box.

If on the other hand there is power on the fuse when switch is on and still no park/running lights, then the problem is the fuse box or after the fuse box. 94

Look for a chaffed/skinned wire grounding out before the load in the circuit (load being the light bulb in this instance). Without a load in the circuit, unlimited current will try to flow through it, and pop the fuse.

found a blown fuse.

now i have running lights and turn signals. However no hazard lights.

If i have the turn signal on it works but then when i push the hazard button it shuts it off and i have no signals. disengage hazard switch and all is well.

I NOW JUST HAVE NO HAZARD LIGHTS

Check hazard lights fuse, fuse 43 - 10A, [hot at all times] engine bay fuse box.

DO NOT just eyeball the fuse, test it with a 12V test light right in the fuse box, or replace it with a new or known working one, and do not change the fuse size, [amperage].

If the fuse is good, turn the hazard switch on and off rapidly a whole bunch of times to see if you can get them working, if still no hazard lights you will need to pull the switch to do some testing. 94

I replaced thehazard switch with a known good one since mine was beat up anyways. Still nothing. Ran out of daylight will replace fuse in bay tomorrow and check back.

ANOTHER NOTE. the left turn signals both work. but they flash rapidly as if one is burnt out.but they do work.

They both work?
The turn signals consist of 4 bulbs per side, front signal, front side marker, signal indicator, [cluster] and rear signal, if any one of them is out flasher speed will increase, you also need to make sure all the correct bulbs are being used, also check brightness of the bulbs, you may have a bad ground at one of them. 94
