Hazzards use a different power circuit.
If either direction doesn't work and blows the fuse, I'd start at replacing the turn signal relay. Sounds as though it may be cooked and grounding itself out.

What deadbird refers to as a turn signal relay is actually a turn signal flasher and it is located clipped to the fuse block bracket.

Check the turn-b/u fuse.

Nope, it's a 10 AMP. Start checking the wiring for the turn signals and the back-up lights. you might also check the wiring to the back-up switch.

I would first start checking all the light sockets for corrosion or a broken bulb that is shorting out.
