Turn signals not working, blowing fuse

I think it is AFU because my brake lamps are working fine, obviously not part of this circuit.

With the blown fuse I have no turn signals, no reverse lights and no heater blower. Everything else seems to be working fine, including brake lamps, marker lamps, hazards and horn.

The radio was disconnected a long time ago at the connector. I have an aftermarket stereo that has its own circuit.

I took a look at the wires at the flasher terminal and they looked ok. Nothing was exposed from the sux inches of wire between the terminal and the harness.

I took a look at the fuse box and everything looked ok underneath. No rust or corrosion. The clips look fine, nothing loose and no melting.

Sometime this week I will disconnect the rear harness and neutral safety switch and do some continuity checks and report back.

thanks so far.
