Hi guys

HELP PLEASE

Can't work out why this happening any suggestions would be appreciated.

Had a thought would the fuses keep blowing if the indicator relay was duff !!!!

Any help appreciated

using a multimeter to check resistance of live feed and the earth might show up a full short. ?water in electrics somewhere?

Is a wired earthing due to insulation breakdown. seems a bit for a young car?

Fitted new relay and no difference !!!!1

Do not know about water in electrics but not obvious and car is garaged !!!

Looks like off to Mr T for diagnosis and empty my wallet unless any other ideas !!!
