Blowing Fuses in 79 BJ40

Hi,
Trying to get a 79 bj 40 with 42 parts up and running. it runs fine however something with the lights is messed. the headlights work, but when the turnsignals are used it blows all the light related fuses...


hopefully someone can help figure this out..

thanks in advance

Pull all the turn signal bulbs and see if the problem goes away. If so, replace a bulb at a time and re-test. If no bulbs still blows a fuse, remove all bulbs and re-test. If problem remains, try disconnecting parts of the wiring harness until it works then replace items until the short returns.
