Default Need some help

Hey guys I just got a 79 Camaro Berlinetta I'm having an issue with the turn signals/hazard lights, I don't know a ton about the car, I put a new fuse in it blows out immediately after I try any of the lights I checked made sure there was no short coming from the ground where should I start? Thanks in advance!

Pull all the lamps and put in a new fuse. Check turnsignals and flashers with lamps out. If it still blows a fuse then it's got a wiring short somewhere. If it doesn't blow the fuse, then put one lamp in and check again. Keep adding one lamp at a time and checking after each is added. When it blows that's the circuit that has the problem. Then it's a case of following out the wires to see.
Don't forget to check the brakes also to see if that blows the fuse! If the fuse doesn't blow putting the brakes on, then both rear turnsignal wires are OK, as they're the same wires used for turnsignals.
