blowing gauge/tailight fuse?

when i have my lights on and i use my left turn signal i blow my fuse to the gauge/tailights. is this a bad swicth or just wires touching, and can i take the column apart without taking the steetring wheel off?

k it just stopped doing it, thank god now i can drive at night, just hope it doesnt happen again.

If you have an aftermarket stereo head unit, those use the same fuse (IIRC)… the wires could be exposed there… and when you turn left they ground out and blow the fuse…
