The wiring or socket may be grounding out somewhere. Remove the bulb, inspect and clean (rust?) the socket. After cleaning spray some electronic contact cleaner and lube in the socket. Example of spray: De-Oxit:
Amazon Amazon


Radio Shack may still have there brand of contact cleaner and lube.


If not one of the above then a break in wiring somewhere that's grounding out.

Re: Blowing fuses

Found the problem, front passenger parking/turn signal socket wires are dry rotted and brittal and hot wire was rubbing the fender. I'll have to get a new socket
