3 Blown blinker fuses in 3 days...

I even blew a 15amp fuse I had in there (it's supposed to be 7.5amp).

I have both blinker (alternating turn signals) and corner (brighter but no blink cornerlight) rewires.

Hazards still work perfectly and have no blown.

Any ideas on what my problems can be? I traced over all my blinker wires (all splices etc.) and all look good and are covered in electrical tape. This really sucks, I can't afford these $.75 fuses every day!
Thanks,
-Cyrus

what kinda 1156 bulbs are you running? and btw never run anything higher than factory's voltage, it'll kill your harness gradually, which will cost more than just $.75 to replace. not a good idea...

did you check your socket? if the connectors turn black (those 2 silver ball thingy), that means your socket is dead. try to go to junk yard and find replacement first. don't go to dealership, they charge you $35 for the socket.

The lights aren't crack or anything are they? Water is bad for lights. Especially if it gets into the wiring.

They aren't cracked, appear to be in mint condition? They are the bulbs that come with clear corners, never gave me a problems for many months. Now I'm having this damn problem and it's really ****ing me off!

try change to different bulb. if it still blows your fuses, then i'm guessing is either the socket or the harness that's causing the problem...
