Anyone else had this happen?
So I was driving home and all of a sudden when I put my blinker on, nothing happened. No dash light blinking and no tail light or front marker blinking. Then I realize (once I got home) no brake lights.
So I checked under the hood and both fuses were blown. So I replaced em today and it worked fine for about 20 min drive. Now they're blown again!!!!
Help. Where should I start?

you have a wire rub and your shorting to ground before the load(tail/turn lights)
look at the harness and see if you can find a spot that is not secured or crushed. on semi trucks to find the real hard ones. i hook a 12v high beam bulb up to where the fuse is suppose to go and i put my little amp clamp on the loom and keep checking different spots down the loom till i run out of amps and search carefully between my last spot with amps and the spot where i was without amps. and find my short. if you wait long enough you can just touch the hot wire but i try to avoid that

thanks....
I'll check both those.... I'm not sure what's going on. It seems like this is really all of a sudden. It's not like the truck has sat for a long time and now all of a sudden I'm driving it and it's not working. This IS my daily driver.
AHHHHHH.
AHHHHHH.
