1999 Ford Explorer Directionals don't work Sign In

My directionals don't work. The fuse is blown. I've replaced the fuse 3-4 times, but each time afterwards the directionals will only work a few times before blowing again. Anyone have any advice on how to determine what this is caused by? I know it could be several things, so I was hoping to narrow it down before spending too much time figuring it out. Trying to avoid taking it to the dealarship since it is probably something simple, but also likely to get me way way overcharged.

P.S. One possible cause I was told is the flasher relay could need to be replaced. I thought this is supposed to be located under the dash beneath the steering column, but I can't seem to find it... can anyone confirm or correct me on this?

The possibilities here are unlimited. A short circuit anywhere in the circuit could cause the problem and the only way to find it is by systematically disconnecting different parts of the circuit until the problem stops. These things can be very difficult to resolve and you will likely need help.
