Before last night, I had looked at the wiring diagram a hundred times, and it wasnt until last night that I noticed that the license plate light was also part of the circuit and my problem.  It all makes sense now because that part of the circuit is always "hot," and a short there would most definitely burn 8 or so fuses.  Sorry to bother everyone with this, but thanks for all of the ideas.

Makes sense.  Did you have a chance to look at it and see if there's any kind of short there?

YEs I did and there was a short of sorts.... the leads going to the light bulb ( the disconnects) were touching, slightly.

In that case if it were the ground, it wouldn't blow the turn signal fuse, it'd blow the fuse for whatever the live wire was that was coming into contact with it.

If the turn signal hot wire were coming into contact with another hot wire, nothing would happen.
