Popping turn signal fuses 94 silverado

[Moparmat2000]

I did not pull the flasher cube, but will try that next. I got a bit discouraged, and went back in the shop to do stuff I know a lot about, autobody sheetmetal repair on a different project. If all else fails I will check wiring from reverse light switch all the way up to the firewall plug,

the 15amp fuse #16 is blowing, correct?

...but have you checked the wiring from the fuse box to the turn signals yet? I read through again and I can't see where you've stated you've done that.

If you're popping fuses, the problem is likely a wire rubbed through between the fuse box and the load. Do a good visual inspection of your turn signal circuit, following the wire from one end to the other. Pull your column connection loose and see if it still pops fuses. If it does, you know the problem is between the fuse box and column. If it doesn't, you know it's likely after that connection.

I disconnected the turn signal switch wiring plug at the base of the column. Still popped fuses.

Yes 15A turn signal fuse.

Yes 15A turn signal fuse.

Put a 40 in there and follow the smoke

Maybe check your trailer wiring if you have it? If not hook up 100amps to it and let the smoke out of it. its a crude way of doing things but it will kill that grounded point/wire and make it easier to now find.

Try disconnecting the headlamp switch and retest. Next Id check all the related bulb sockets for corrosion.

I disconnected the trailer harness. Dont plan on letting the magic smoke out for now, but thanks for the thoughts on that. I have the Mopar brand replacement wiring harness smoke. Anybody have a PN# for the GM type? Just in case the mopar smoke is not compatible.

Hilarious, It should come with a new Amp gauge and a dash pad. LOL
