ok so . nearly every time i use my blinkers my head light fuse blows. i have taken the switch apart and cant find any thing there. ive also looked all over and including inside the light assembly. the fuse in the block is 10amp. but im not shure that is the right one as it is a after market fuse block

That is a big clue. Start at the fuse block and check the wire(s) going out all the way to ground. Somewhere along the path there is a problem. Look for melted or worn insulation or a pinched wire. Good luck, I hate electrical problems.

to start you need a 20 amp fuse (stock) that 10 is to small
