Well, your going to have to trace all the wiring ,I 'm sure you know that...start by trying to isolate what area it might be in...for example, check/remove rear bulbs,see it it goes away...in the trunk area,trace wiring back,there should be some sort of electrical connector.disconnect that,see if it goes away...etc...trace wiring back to the front to the turn signal switch...check the front the same way,remove /check bulbs,wiring etc.....

Has any work been done recently....if so,good place to start...for example,was something as simple as a headlamp replaced,bezel removed/reinstalled?,,if so,possibly could have pinched a wire...
same for any interior trim most likely on drivers side...under carpeting and threshold trim the wire harness should run along there...any screws driven thru harness?...check for water intrusion getting onto harness....check harness for chafing on any metal...that sort of thing...check turn signal flasher..
your going to either need a good supply of fuses for this or use a good same size/amp circuit breaker,i have a huge one with wires and clips on the ends that i clip on to the fuse box tabs for the fuse in question...
IF you have a u-pull it salvage yard near by,MAN, thats a good place to get handfuls of fuses for cheap......

Hope this helps...post back if you need additional help
