I have a 1994 dodge ram 1500 5.2 318 V8?

Question

Bought the truck off a Hockey player ! Anyways I keep on blowing the fuses when I signal left & hit the breaks . . .. 
I've checked all the light sockets & cleaned & sprayed the connections with contact cleaner . Got new relays but still snapping every fuse I replace . I've burnt around 20 fuses . I've serviced the entire thing & it still giving me troubles .

People say bad connection & to re- wire the wires that heat up . This sounds like a pain .

I don't wanna forget to say I was in the middle of saving money to get the ball joints & U joints fixed . This is really stressing me out .  Is it even worth fixing ?

Hi it looks smart enough. motoring is always expensive no matter what you drive so it might just be a wire that needs some insulation tape around it as it shorts out on the body work. simple enough to find.

Sounds like a power feedback from a bad socket. The lighting system shares common grounds. Remove the rear turn / brake bulb and apply the brakes with the turn signal on. If the fuse doesn't pop, replace the socket.

Yeah it had a few things that was messed up . The tape around the plugs behind the wheeel wells had clay like mud inside the tape . Cleaned that and opened up that panel under the column and checked the wires and tightened up few lil black boxes . Took sand paper and cleaned the grounds.
