Default Help weird electrical issue.

So the other day my camaro started blowing the turn signal fuse. I started doing some research and realised its a common thing with these cars when the reverse light sensor kicks on. But my car only blows fuses when the car is sitting still. So i checked all the bulbs and sockets. come to find out the front turn signal sockets were burnt and corroded so i wired up some new ones and cut out the halo lights that were rigged into the day time running lights bam it quit poping the turn signal fuse. Whats really odd though is on the driver side the corner marker lights in the turn signal light housing and tail light housing dont work now along with the reverse lights. Does any one have any suggestions im pretty stumped now on whats going on.

sounds like you got the wires for the blinker hooked to the side markers, side marker wires must be hooked to the blinker, you may have the hot wire on one hooked to ground or the blinker wire is hooked to side marker and both parking light for blinker light and side marker are on the blinker socket.

So just a small update i did the DRL by pass the car stopped burning out bulbs. I made it two days without blowing a fuse. Today i was sitting in tacobells drive threw and it blew the fuse and wouldnt stop blowing them. So i tried again two hours later and sure enough it accpeted the fuse and everythings working fine.... im so confused now. Could it be the reverse light switch?;/

I have a '99... all of my lights work fine, minus the hazards... 3/4 of the hazard lights work.... replaced to pigtails and bulbs... still no idea... but, the thing is, the ONE that the hazard light doesn't work on, the blinker light DOES work... stumped.
