As far as i can tell it doesn't matter which way i turn and it will blow it weather or not my head lights are on. All the lights still work when it happens its just taking out the glass fuse for my signals even my hazards still work after it pops the fuse.
hey brian.. i wish i were closer i was always fairly good with wiring problems..when you have the dash light problem check to see if your tail lights go out also that can help eliminate some places to look for a problem.. does your turn signal fuse blow in either direction or just on L-R when making turns..have you tried it with your 4-way flashers to see if that will blow the fuse, that can eliminate several places you have to look also.. will the fuse blow just when headlights are on or anytime...if you want i can make a copy of a wiring diagram...once you under stand how it works it make it easy to diagnose problems...

thats good brian..seems to maybe put it into the primary system somewhere..less to have to look at..what happens when you hit the brakes..if the fuse stays.then that should eliminate it to maybe just the front wiring..you can check for a short in the signal switch by unplugging harness checking the 4wires at the harness plug with switch on while turning wheel...look for a continuity from the wires to a ground..if none ..then leave the plug undone, remove the bulbs and check for continuity to ground in each wire from that direction

i've narrowed it down to somewhere under the dash i beleave and since my luck is freaking horrible its more then likely in the column in the hardest to get to place. I did find a random black wire grounded to the dash then wrapped around the column a dozen times and then wedged into the clutch pedal arm where it looks like it was cut off but i can't find the other end anywhere.

I got rid of the flux capacitor long ago..turns out I wasn't glowing in dark because i have super powers after all so in the trash it went. I am thinking that wire was the probably the ground wire for the pos radio that was in it.

Keep it! It was 57 degrees when I sat down at the computer this morning. Supposed to be nice and warm all week.
I DID really sleep well. I didn't get up until 0645. I'm gonna try and get some stuff done today. ...Maybe even hear a Saturn run.
