Pull each bulb, and use your Ohm meter to check continuity from each pin of the bulb socket to chassis ground. You should get a ground on one pin, but not the other.
Whichever bulb socket has continuity to ground on both pins is your winner, and you'll need to trace that circuit's wiring until you find the problem.

a little off point right now, but the coil in the steering column has NOTHING to do with the directionals... replacing that or even touching it in this case would be stupid.

putting a fuse that is "larger" than the one you remove is just asking for trouble....

damn, finally fixed the short. whenever I placed my transmission into reverse my fuse would blow. so i then checked the ground it was fine, but when i looked at the reverse lights my passenger side reverse light filament on the bulb was damaged and created a hot wire. so after i replaced it with a new one.. my turn signals finally worked fine. thanks everyone for your help and advice.
