Post Turn signal problem

My turn signal lights recently stopped working the other day. I checked the fuse and it was burnt out, so I replaced it and they worked again. Later that day the fuse blew out again and keeps blowin out every time i put a new one. Could be a short somewhere, also my reverse lights don't work. Anyone have a similar problem? need help!

Sounds like part of your wiring harness is shorting to ground. I unfortunately do not have a diagram of the wiring, however, several individuals on here do have access, so i am sure on of them will post a chart for you. In the mean time, you could take a meter and check the resistance for shorts across the bulb sockets (with the bulbs removed of course) and see if you can find one that is shorted. This will atleast give you an idea of where to look...

That is a great idea I will be sure to do that. Thanks!

For some reason I am remembering a module of some sort that controls the turn signals etc...hmmm

You beat me to it!
Sometimes the wiring harness for the rear taillight get pinched in between the taillight housing and the body when you put taillights back on and bolt them down. Maybe pull the rears off and make sure the wiring is routed the way it was from the factory
