O.K. Left turn signal works great. R turn signal blows #9 fuse.
Here are the details:
1) When r. turn signal wires are connected to hazard switch and hazard switch is turned on blown fuse.
2) When key switch power is on left turn signals work great but when I turn on the r side there is a buzzing clicking sound like it really wants to work but then #9 fuse blows. The r turn signal light on tach lights up slightly before fuse blows.
3) When power is off and R. turn signal is activated the front turn signal lights up and the back side marker and the 3rd light from the outside in turns on(same as left side).

I have searched the forum for some ideas.
Could it be a bad turn signal switch?
How do I check for a short in the wires? How do I check for continuity in the turn signal?
Because the #9 fuse blows when I connect the r. turn signal wires to the turned on hazard switch indicate a wiring short other then the turn signal?

Checking for a grounded wire with continuity confuses me. If I take a wire and connect my multimeter to on end and then connect the other end of my multimeter to a grounded source should that make it continuity? My multimeter is set up to beep when continuity is reached.

Can you guys descibe how to check the wires for a shorted wire?
Thanks,

First take out the bulb and try it . See if the dash light glows. The bulb could be in wrong. Or the ground wire could be in the wrong spot.

The challenge with continuity testing is that there is always a connection - but maybe through the bulb filament, or meter, or whatever. I always try to isolate whatever I am testing from the rest of the car's wiring while I do the actual test...

I had a simular problem. Remove the front turn signal assembly and check the wiring to the right turn signal/parking/side marker. The PO had them reversed.

I also had the licence plate light wired reversed. The combination had weird effects.

Found the problem! exposed wire on the turn signal switch. Put on some black electrical tape on the exposed wire and presto. No fuse blown when putting on the hazzard switch and no blown fuse when I hit the turn switch to the right.
Next issue...... Getting the vacuum line hooked up right on the motor.
