Flashers work -blinkers don't
I have a 92 Samurai, the fuse block has power. It will blow a fuse immediately when I put one in. The flasher works and all of the light bulbs are new and work perfectly. I have not replaced the light fixtures themselves though. Could that be the problem? What am I missing? This Samurai is rust free and I want to put it on the street as a DD but I can't if I don't get this fixed asap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have checked all the wires and grounds, next thing I would check is the multi function switch to see if it has an issue.

Did that also. Should have mentioned that. I have a spare so I plugged both harnesses up and still nothing. The flasher works still but no blinkers. The multifunction switch doesn't have to be mounted on the steering column to function properly does it? I didn't bother removing the one on the column and just plugged this one into the harness. I didn't see any place where it would ground to the column.

No need for the switch to be mounted to the collumn. I tested a couple just by plugging them in as you did.

I guess I could try to disconnect the switch (both harnesses) and see if the fuse still pops. If it does that would mean it is in the wiring or plugs right?

Just tried it and still blew the fuse. Hmmmm.

Disregard this post. I didn't read the first one carefully enough....

Unplug all the lights, put in a new fuse, plug them in 1 by 1 and see which one blows the fuse, when you plug it in. At least you could isolate the problem that way.

I kind of had a similar problem but my right side turn signal worked and so did the hazard flashers but not the left side. All it did was make the flasher buzz. as messed up as it sounds I replaced the flasher and it resolved the problem for now anyway.

I currently have all of the marker lights removed. It blows a fuse with no lights in? I am lost as to what to do now. Should I start replacing all of the light housings and ground wires to each of them?

When I said "unplug the lights", I meant disconnect the wiring connectors, not remove the bulbs. Unplug them all, put a good fuse in, plug each one back in one by one and check the fuse after each one. That will isolate which one is causing the problem. I'd say you have a hot wire grounded/shorted somewhere.

Mine were run under the shock relocation bar (since removed). If your wires travel above a shock relocation bar check them, mine were pinched there and randomly shorting out.

I will work on the sockets tomorrow evening. The weird part is they all work and flash as they should with the hazards on?
