Popping fuses

About two weeks, my turn signals went out. No big deal, it was just a fuse. I replaced, and on I went. The next day, the same fuse went out again. Hmm. I replaced it again, and it was fine for like 2 weeks, and then it went out again today. I replaced it, and it went out again the very first time I tried to use the turn signals.

Why could this be happening? I don't even know how to begin trying to track this down. I know next to nothing about vehicle electrical.

 

You have a short in the system causing too much amperage draw. Check your light bulbs.

 

Thank god for fuses, otherwise you may have a burned up vehicle. Something is shorted to ground - pull all of the light assemblies and inspect the wiring very carefully. If you've recently replaced any bulbs or worked around any of the wiring on the truck, start there first. Hopefully it's a pinched wire or something simple that you can fix. If it's within the body harness or the turn signal switch, your problem will become a bit more difficult to troubleshoot/fix.

 

It seems that I have an out front left parking light. But I don't even know how to access it to check it out.
