Left turn signal keeps blowing a fuse

I have a 1985 z28 camaro, and whenever I use the left turn signal it blows the corresponding fuse. However the hazards work just fine and every other light functions normally. Im not very well versed in electrical issues, ive tried replacing the flasher and hazard relay, as well as the bulbs on the front and side and still no luck. Any suggestions for fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Turn signal switch is probably grounded to the column somehow.

Yup, probably a chafed wire in the column.

The harness is part of the switch. Just change it out.
