What year car? Do you have a wiring diagram? You will need to start isolating individual wires to find the fault. It's not that hard to do if you have a diagram.

Sounds like the turn switch has a internal short or one of the wires from the fuses to the turn signals has a short somewhere, most likely a bad socket.

I gotta agree with Nick on the switch. In general, wires don't go "Bad" overnight..... I would check the bulb holders for corrosion and then consider a new switch.

Probably not. The flasher relay is directed through the turn switch. When they go bad the just stop working. If you want to test your switch: swap the left and right side turn signal wires at the fuse block. If you blow the left side fuse signaling right (which will be the right side) it will be a problem with the switch.

What year car? So I can pull up a wiring diagram.....

It's a 66 with a 12 volt conversion, got the resister and a 12 v flasher

If you have a 12v flasher you don't need a resistor. both the left and right go through the same flasher so it would be screwy all the time if it was the flasher. Dylan is on the money, isolate and try to prove if the switch works or not. if it's good then go to your light sockets and make sure they are not shorted out. A digital voltmeter will make this a lot easier.
