2000 gmc sierra blows right turn sugnal fuse

My truck keeps blowing the right turn signal fuse. I have replaced the corroded and burnt front signal socket as I was told that could be part of the problem. Now another person tells me that if I do not have the oem flasher unit this might be the culprit. Have any ideas to the problem.

I have replaced the corroded and burnt front signal socket as I was told that could be part of the problem. Now another person tells me that if I do not have the oem flasher unit this might be the culprit.?????? Rather then listening to people telling you it's this or that , if you can't view a wiring diagram an use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter an test the circuits an find the problem , your best bet mite be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop. There are a lot of training videos on youtube for leaning how to trouble shoot these type problems . This is how professional technicians learned !

If the fuse blowes you have a direct short to ground on the B+ voltage supply circuit for the right turn signals .

When does the fuse blow ? As soon as you turn right signal on ? As soon as you install a new fuse ?

it seems you have a short in either one of the lights or interlock. all are connected to the same fuse. trace the wiring from the fuse box back to the component. Using a test light test in between the wires. check for any obvious breaks in the wiring.

The fuse is blowing from one of the wires shorting out to the tail lights. The best place to start is the trailer wiring harness. Check the trailer wiring and make sure that the brown wire in the trailer wiring is not shorting or have any bad places in the insulation.

I have an electrical problem with my 2008 Sierra desiel the passenger side turn signals cause the dome light fuse to blow and the front signals do not work

Front Flasher is separate from the rear at the firewall connector. Find out if you have good front flasher bulb and with a test light if there is a good + and - for the front flasher.
Now, for the blown fuse. I suspect there is a bad ground and the dome light and the flasher lights share the same ground.
Explaining: If it is when you turn on the right flasher(This is the bad ground circuit. The right flasher will take a shortcut to the dome light and probably the dome fuse is rated low. That will blow the dome fuse (Overcharge on the dome fuse). Could be why the front signals don't work at all. (Flasher ground problem).
Hope it helps.

Blown dashboard light fuse

Since they are on different circuits I would say something in the wiring harness. It may be tough to find if it takes a few days or weeks for the problem to show up.
It could be a short in the harness in the column, or elsewhere.

My son has a 2000 gmc sierra.. the truck was running often low on gas and when he recently turned the truck off whenever you attempt to start the truck when u turn the key over it blows the ecm-b fuse. ...

That fuse powers several things, including the fuel pump relay.
You would need to disconnect the harness at the pump and see if the fuse still blows.
