Angry turn signal fuse keeps blowing

I have a 1989 Ford F-150 and my turn signal fuse keeps blowing every time I turn on the ignition switch. I don't touch the turn signal switch, just turn on the key and the fuse blows. I changed the ignition switch and traced the wires the best I could and can not find the problem. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

You might also try checking the lights associated with your turn siginal/hazard lights (front and back). I once hooked an old camper up to the electrical system of my truck. Every time I turned on the trucks lights, I'd blow my dashboard lights fuse. It turned out one of the bulbs was badly shorted.

Hope this helps.
