hi, we have a problem with turn signals blowing fuses, a new fuse last for a bit until you drive for a while and shut it off, usually when you start it back up or leave it overnite then start it, fuse blows or has already blown, any ideas where to look? must be short somewhere but where?

If the fuse keeps blowing you have a short somewhere. Most often the problem is located in steering column with the multi-function switch or it's wiring. The wires can get pinched or pulled buy the tilit wheel or the issue may be the switch itself.

It's also worth mentioning that if you have trailer wiring on your truck you should inspect it for broken/worn wires.

The way I was able to narrow it down to my steering column is that the lights would work fine when the wheel was all the way up. However, if I out it down a notch or 2, I would either get hyoerflash or blow a fuse.
