Twice this season the blinkers in my '92 quit working. Determined it was a blown fuse in both instances. Any one else ever have this problem or have ideas what might be causing the problem?
Another problem that developed over the summer is that all adjustments for my temperature control stop working. i.e. I'll turn on the AC and for no apparent reason I won't be able to adjust the fan or temperature up or down. This problem has always been solved by turning the car off and starting it back up again. Could this be a short? If so, is there likely to be a correlation?
Fuses blow because the current through them exceeds the fuse rating. You need to look at the turn signal lamp sockets for frayed wires and inspect the wires going to them to determine if the insulation is good with no bare wire showing which can touch metal (ground) and short causing excess current. You need to inspect the entire wiring from the fuse block to the turn signal switches, through the wiring harness all the way to the stop light lamps.
