turn signals

harrylee · May 13th, 2008, 06:13 PM

I'm not sure when this started but I've been having problems with my turn signals. Everytime I flip the switch my fuse blows. Front and back don't work. I'm suspecting that there's a short somewhere. How do I perform a test on the switch itself and the wires leading to the lamps to see which component has the problem?

Make sure you have the correct size fuses in each fuse slot.
Sometimes if you have the wrong size fuse in the incorrect fuse slot, it will cause other fuses to blow.

might have a bad multifunction switch. Anything else going wrong?

i do have another problem. probably related to the light problem. my horn went out. replaced fuse and it worked...until the fuse blew. i checked the fuses and they are all the right kind. the multifunction switch? is that the switch on the steering column? i do remember replacing it for some reason, can't remember. how do i test it?
