Why does a 1997 international 4700 truck blows fuses when using left signal?

Possible causes:

- Faulty wiring: Check the wiring harness that connects the turn signal switch to the light socket. Ensure that the wires are not damaged or shorted.

- Faulty turn signal switch: The turn signal switch may be defective, causing it to draw excessive current and blow the fuse.

- Faulty light socket: The light socket may be corroded or damaged, causing a poor electrical connection and an increased current draw, leading to a blown fuse.

- Electrical overload: If additional electrical accessories have been added to the vehicle, they may overload the circuit, causing the fuse to blow when the turn signal is activated.

- Damaged fuse box: The fuse box may be damaged, causing poor contact between the fuse and the terminals, leading to a blown fuse.

Recommendations:

- Inspect the wiring harness, turn signal switch, light socket, and fuse box for any damage or defects.

- If any faulty components are found, replace them with new ones.

- If the problem persists, consult with a qualified auto electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
