Need help with fuses blowing.

My daughter was in a light fender bender, she was hit in the front passenger fender. It broke the turn signal on the passenger side and popped out the signal on the drivers side. I've replaced both housings but everytime I put a bulb in the housing it blows the fuse for the taillights.

I've searched high and low and I can't find any wires that might be grounded out. Any other clues?

Like I said, it will blow the 15a fuse for the tailights if I replace a bulb on either turn signal. If I run without bulbs in the turn signals it will not blow the fuse.

It's getting frustrating

you need to find the short circuit, could be a pinched wire or a punctured one.

its always going to continue to happen boss. i had the same problem but mine was when installing the led on my headlamps. i connected it to my parking lights/signal lights and it blew my fuse very often. to make a long story short, instead of me using the fuse with 15, i used a 20 one. car starts with no problem now. also check the wire that houses the bulb, there could be a cut off of it. find it, tie it and tape some wire tape on it.. thats my 5 cents, good luck

Were the parts replaced Toyota?
Sounds like the bulb housing is shorting.
