fuse keeps tripping need help!

Ok I installed my stock S4 lights back on the car. got the drivers side on and plugged in and tested...they worked. got the passenger side in but not plugged then pushed the hazrds to test and realized the passenger side wasnt plugged in. so without turning the hazard button off i plugged in the pass. side lights. it blew a fuse. whenever i replace the fuse i can use my drive side blinker but not pass. it flashes once maybe twice and then blows. what the hell could be causing this?

bump, anyone know? i'm having the same problem as you, i dont have the cpu where the clutch pedal is, but my signals have worked without it before. the signal will blink 2 or 3 times and then the fuse will blow, the hazards wont even turn on at all, what was the problem if you figured it out?

I unplugged all the wiring to my tail lights since I had recently changed to S5's. Check all the wiring make sure its ok and that nothing is pinched and hook everything back up securely. I think just unplugging and plugging it back in did it for me. Good luck.

there is a wire grounded somewhere. either from a pinch or a slice. check you pass side circuit and you will find you fault.

I will definitely check, thanks for the help. I know its a short somewhere, just don't know where, I didn't touch any of the light bulbs or the wiring, they just started blowing fuses. They worked for awhile after I had put in my s5's, buts ill have to check when I get back into town later today, ill keep everyone updated, thanks again!
