Hey, the guy that bought my 91 is having trouble with the T/S ABS fuse blowing when he turns on the right blinker. It started on a rainy day and the ABS light came on. I told him to check the fuse since I knew that the fuse blowing would turn the lights on and that is what it was. He replaced the fuse and all was good, until he turned the right blinker on. Now it blows the fuse everytime he hits the right blinker. Any ideas? He is a good friend and I would like to help him. The odometer also quit working before this, so I feel bad since I went through all of the mechanicals of the truck and never had any problems with it. Now he has had two small problems, but still loves the truck.
Thanks for any help you guys might be able to give.

Never mind yall. He just called and said he found the problem. Seems the bulb in the rear tailight blew and shorted the filamint across inside the bulb. Blew the fuse everytime he hit it. Changed the bulb and fixed everything. Wierd.

Well I talked to him today and he said the fuse blew again. I don't understand it, when he found the above problem, he let the blinker blink for five minutes and no problem. Then when he was driving the other day and turned on the blinker, the fuse blew again and the ABS and brake light came back on.
Any help?
