right turn signal blows acc fuse

[gtp3800]

So this morning the bike ran great, everything was good. rode 350 miles. got to a rest area, went to turn my right signal on to exit, and boom there goes my gauges, tail light, and turn signals. however my bright light still worked. so I check all fuses. turns out the acc fuse is blown. so I replace it a merry on my way. blow it three more times in the day within the last 150 miles of my day. I instinctively use my turn signals then swear a lot when the last fuse I had blows.

got pulled over for not having a tail light. yelled at the cop for about 10 minutes, ended up getting a police escort home which was very professional of them.

my question is. wtf is going on. its only when I use my right turn signal. is a wire grounding out somewhere? is the relay bad? any help would be great.

yes sounds like a short in the turn signal,on the right side

All stock signals and lights or aftermarket?

Ya. just trace the wires from the turn signals. you'll find a bare spot somewhere. Good luck and [up] for the cops that were doing their job, not just revenue building.

by yelled I meant argued.

I found it, wire rubbed through so bad the copper was touching the right seat rail.
