Turn signal indicator problem

[RedD250]

@RedD250, You may want to look at this meter when at HF. Not trying to spend ll your money, but this meter, https://www.harborfreight.com/cm1000a-1000a-t-rms-acdc-clamp-meter-64017.html allows you to check the current draw of wires. You could check the current that your starter is pulling. PM me for info on using a digital meter with the little one you got and also the PP III if you pick it up. Here's a very simple item to check for power, https://www.harborfreight.com/computer-safe-automotive-logic-probe-63597.html. This will light up green or red for telling you that + or -. It's computer safe to help not fry anything. We're here to help with more than just our trucks! Good luck!

I'll check both of those out too. I rarely do any wiring, but when I do it would be nice to have all the proper tools. And thanks for the offer to help using the meter! It would be good to know how to properly use the thing lol. I'm good at wiring things up and making them work... but as far as diagnosing things that DON'T work, I haven't got a clue.

It doesn't really make sense that your blowing fuses

Easy to blow a fuse when probing a lamp socket by touching the bulb contact (hot / +) and leaning the probe to where it also contacts the socket side (ground / -). Straight short to ground causing the circuit's "magic smoke" to leak out at the fuse. Same idea used in the game "Operation", but the game uses an indicating light and buzzer to limit the current in the circuits.
