Hey guys .

well iv got a 91 sierra. and iv got a problem it just turned up and wasnt like i have been driving it allot or on a big trip where something could of broke. i just turned her on one day and the indicators where not working .

i have looked through all the fuses and found the fuse that keeps blowing.

iv changed the fuuse around 3 times now and within 1 minute its blown again.

i was told to look through the wires near the lights indicators etc. but i cannot see anyhting. there was 1 wire that was hanging down but i found where that was ment to go ( i think) and i placed the wire around the thread of the screw that holds the connector on. so i think that would of been ok ???

any ideas guys ???

ps i can take a pic of the connector im talking about if you need it.

Cheers guys looking forward to your responses.

I had this exact problem with my 91 lancer I had. It only occured with the right hand indicators and hazards. Unfortunately I never did find the cause. Confused many an auto sparky. Hope yours is easier.

Maybe try taking out the globes, replace the fuse, and then run the indicators with only one globe in at a time, see if it is blowing when one particular globe is in. That might narrow the problem down a bit at least.
