Indicator Fuse Keeps Blowing

[Everlong-S13]

Hey guys, any suggestions will be appreciated at auto electrics aren't my thing.

Driving around today I notice my indicators stopped working (no click, no dash etc).

Pulled in, checked fuse was blown. Bought a new 10amp fuse and it blew straight away. Tried 20 amp, same deal.

So obviously there's an earth somewhere. Does anyone know where the best / logical place is to start looking without having to dismantle my entire car?

Thanks in advance.

Disconnect all blinkers and see if it still pops

Ahh nice one. I'll try that and see if it narrows it down. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I've been trying to eliminate the source of the problem.

Currently, the indicators neither work nor blow the hazard light fuse. However turning on the emergency light button does blow the fuse. I've ripped out the center console and looked for faulty wires with no luck. I've disconnected the hazard light button with no difference.

Currently trying to disconnect the indicator globes with no luck and the R34 headlights are IMPOSSIBLE to remove.

does it only blow in one direction? or both? or blows with the switch in rest position? was it blowing with hazard light switch disconnected?

Does not blow the fuse in either indicator direction (indicator neither works), neither with hazard light button disconnected.

However its blows the fuse when hazard light button is pressed.
