Turn signal won't work! (not bulbs, not flasher, keeps blowing a fuse)

Okay, whenever I signal for a turn nothing happens.... no indicator light, no clicking, etc.

The bulbs are fine, both the DRL and hazzards work fine. I've replaced the fuse, then I replaced the flasher. Now It keeps blowing a fuse, I've went through 3 fuses and I don't know what to do.

Any other suggustions?

It would be hard to say but it sounds like something in the circuit is shorted to ground. This might require some diagnosis with a multimeter. Has it ever been in an accident?

Another vote for a short in the wiring. Are the bulb sockets corroded? Was it blowing fuses prior to you replacing the flasher?

it randomly stopped working... I replaced the fuse and it just blew so I tried replacing the flasher and it keeps blowing a fuse.

I suck @ electronics and have no clue what a bad ground is even really nor how to fix it so I'm just going to take it to the shop, I'm sick of ****ing with it.

A short/open is usually caused by a pinched wire.
