Turn signal keeps blowing fuse
ok, I'm 2.5 years into driving I think this is my first electrical problem, but here we are!
I drove through a BIG thunderstorm on Friday night - a lot of rain, so much that you can't see the sides of the road or road markings. Proper texas sized storm. For 30 minutes I was forced to go under 30mph on the freeway. Anyway, the car was wet.
Everything worked, as it always does, my car is very reliable.
Next day I drive and I notice the turn signals didn't work - sure enough a fuse had blown. Hmm.. I change the fuse. It's back to 100+deg and obviously the car is very dry now. The turn signals all work in the garage. I drive down the road and at the first intersection the fuse blows again. Weird?
I've gone through this a few times now. I change the fuse. I test the turn signals, they work. (BTW, the hazards are on a different fuse and ALWAYS work, even when turn signals have blown)
Then I drive the car and they blow.
I'm going to do more testing in the garage, by simulating driving - turning steering, engine running, etc, and see if I can reproduce in the garage..
