Turn signals blowing fuse #4 - ERA 782
Thought I should start a new thread on this subject since this problem may not be self-induced and might be of help to someone some day.
To re-cap - blowing the #4 fuse when turn signals are used which also powers off the voltage regulator - and charging. The fast blow fuses to the rear are not affected. The other fuses linked to #4 don't appear affected.
Returned from some more testing - pulled the turn signal leads to the front turn signals and still blew the fuse with a left turn signal (key on but parking lights off)
I reconnected the wires, replaced the fuse and tried a right turn signal. They worked OK and fuse did not blow. Tried left again and as soon as I heard the flasher click the fuse blew.
Pulled the bracket for the flasher and trailer relay down and released the wire harnesss to look everything over. Can't see any obvious sign of pinching, bare connectors or anything.
Probably not the flasher as it doesn't have Lt/Rt circuits. Kind of sounds like it's poining to the turn signal itself?
Suggestions?
thanks
