Possible Electrical Short.....Need Help

Guys I have a problem, I recently purchased a set of polarg bulbs for the front and rear turn signals, I installed the rears and didn't have a problem. I installed the fronts and was driving out the driveway when all the turns went out, sidemarkers went out, instrument cluster went out too. Whenever I activate the turns both sides blink as well as sidemarkers and instrument cluster. What could have happened?

If you did the side marker rewiring, you messed up the wiring.

Check and see if any of the fuses got zapped.

Otherwise, check the wire connections where you spliced in to make your sides blink, maybe they came loose.

Same thing happened to me. Fuse snapped. In the engine bay off to the right. Look at the top of the cap for the "acc light" fuse or something like that. Replace it with one of the spares from under the dash of the same rating.

thanks guys, but i haven't rewired them, they blinked on their own
Will replacing the fuse solve the problem or will it blow again?
