2010 Yaris Left turn signal causing blown fuse

[drstonehands]

Bought 2010 yaris march last year. Fuse keeps popping on my 10A HAZ fuse when i signal to go left. A little background. Weather has been cold im in northeast ...parked car to go into store. Came back out went to turn left signal popped on for second and shut down. No blinkers at all. After some research I tried fuse and it kept popping. Tried to call service center but everyone was heading home and no one had any great ideas to what i could be. I then tried to check light bulbs nothing looks damaged. Not sure if i am checking them correctly. However found out that if i put in new fuse and used turn signal right it works blinks inside and everything. Hazard lights and left turn automatically pop the fuse. NO accident or anything so i am wondering how this randomly happened and if there is something else i can check to see. I even tried removing the back left bulb and trying a new fuse. Any ideas are appreciated as i have to wait until tuesday to get it serviced at a center.

you may have something touching the powered wire to the bulb in the socket, which will give it a dead ground, (allow more power to flow through the fuse than a bulb would need. a loose thread of a wire would be enough to do it. Check the left front and rear sockets and wire connectors, for a loose piece of wire.
