I have a 1994 ford aerostar 3.0 engine. My turn signals won't work, and every new fuse I install pops immediately. How do I find the short?

Remove all indicator globes including any side guard indicators, turn on left and start replacing globes, do same with right side, hopefully when you hit the globe with the faulty wire the fuse will pop.

Thanks for responding to my question. I tried to do what you suggested, but as soon as I put in a fuse, even with all the bulbs out, it would blow. This is a 15 amp fuse spot, and I did try a 30 amp once and it stayed on for 10 seconds, then blew, but not long enough for me to re-insert any bulbs. Any idea what this is telling me? Any advice would be welcome. Thank you

Un plug the indicator switch and try again.
