Now turn on the ignition and try the turn signal lever. Obviously the turn signals won't work and you should get a bulb-out warning but does the fuse still blow?

If the fuse doesn't blow, you know it has something to do with one of the bulbs / sockets. Add bulbs one at a time until one causes the fuse to blow. There is your problem.

If the fuse still blows you know it isn't related to the bulbs and their sockets. It then could be the turn signal switch in the steering column, the combination relay N10 in the fuse/relay box (included the flasher circuit), the lamp-out warning relay (also in the fuse/relay box) or the wiring in between.

So top of fuse 6 and ground should be wide open right?
