Indicators and fuses

[Simon]

I fitted a cruise system to the touring yesterday, and when I took the car for a drive, the indicators keep blowing fuse no4.
Hazards work fine, main beam comes on when the stalk is pulled, and the OBC function of the stalk still works.
As soon as I put a new fuse in it pops regardless to wether the indicators are switched on or not.....

Any ideas??

Have you got an alarm thats connected to the indicators?

I have no idea, it's got an alarm, but it's never worked....

should I have just admitted that on a public forum

Update.

I've checked the stalk, that's not causing the problem, when I put all the glove box area back together and switched the ignition on I managed to replace the fuse without it blowing, went for a drive and it went within about 5 minutes.

I'm thinking dodgy wiring around the glovebox area..anywhere I should be looking?

Yes mate,i've had this.
You need to check the wiring for the glovebox light,i had thread bare wirse in there that was causing the same problems you've got.
