Why do i keep blowing the left turn signal? We put a new fuse in (i think?), then the next day it does it again, then a new fuse, then blows again, etc. etc.
2006 volvo vnl 60.
Thanks.

Russian Rabbit Thanks this. -
becuase its an old truck and you have a short somewhere. You are gonna have to trace your wires. . i have an old truck, i wound up just replacing all my wires and harnesses. to avoid that headache for another 20 years or life of truck. I went a little extreme but you gonnnahave to find out where the wire is rubbing through or grounding out. Get you a multimeter and youtube on how to use it to find a short
Russian Rabbit and Bakerman Thank this. -
Start at the light and work your way back looking for exposed wires.
Russian Rabbit and Chubby Fly Thank this. -
Out of blinker fluid?
RocketScott, Bakerman, Chubby Fly and 3 others Thank this. -
UPDATE:
It turns out it had nothing to do with the fuses; The mechanic put, (i'm ASSuming) dielectric grease on the light bulb contacts and the lights/turn signals all work fine now.
He's thinking we will have to order new light sockets soon. i'm not sure how a non-moving electrical part can "wear out," but ok....... -
P.S. This joker has 713,000 miles on it. Runs well, i think.

Make sure you're using the correct bulb because they make more than one. I made that mistake. Look at your other one and make sure it matches.
Might be as simple as that -
