Issue with turn signals

[Letcher77]

Alright so I recently bought an 04 Firebolt and I am having issues with the turn signals working. They were working fine when I first took the bike for a ride. Then about 10 min into the ride the whole speedo and gauge cluster stopped working. So I pulled over and check the fuse, sure enough it was blown. So I went over to checker and got another one started it up and within 30 sec it blew again. So I put a 15amp fuse in there and so far its held up. My speedo and gauge cluster works but no turn signals. I've checked the wiring and everything looks good. So my thought it the flasher...so when I went to take the old one out I saw that it was not bolted down to the bike. Could that metal bracket off of the flasher be some sort of ground and maybe thats why. Any thoughts?

Nope, the flasher doesn't ground thru the mount, check the Big ass grounding lug on the frame at the stem, it has 4-6 ground wires connected to it, when my turn signals on my '08 XT act up that is the 1st place I check

You'll have to forgive me I am more of a car guy not a motorcycle guy, but where is the stem?

The steering stem, right behind the headlights

Cool thanks for the help. I'll check that tonight. I'm still learning about the bike. Kinda confusing at first.
