Default turn signal issue

Howdy, new to the forum and have a question on an electrical problem. I have a 2003 Road King, when I turn the ignition on it automatically blows my 10 am accessory fuse every time-and I lose my left turn signals front and back. The only other issue I am having, as far as I can tell is possibly the cruise control does not engage-but comes on fine. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

It seems you have an electrical fault of some sort in your indicator circuit. There is no short way of finding it, simply working your way from each light unit back through the bike to the indicator module and on to the handlebar switch. Check each bulb, as if one has failed and developed an internal fault that may be the cause. Check each wire for damage or a loose connection somewhere, even corrosion. Disturb every connector and ground and clean and lubricate. Hopefully you will find something obvious to fix!
