ok first you want to remove the fuse and the loads (bulbs)

hook your negative lead to a good ground (the negative terminal of the battery is prefered)

start at the fuse and see if you have any resistance (you should at this point cause your at the begining of the circuit)

start with one circuit (ie turn signals) if you get resistance its in that circuit if not then its in one of the other circuits on that fuse.

move to the next connector on the circuit and disconect it and test on the load side (if you get resistance then its farther down the line if not then its in that first section)

make sure that the bulbs are removed when doing these tests
also make sure that you leave the previous conectors disconected on that circuit until youve isolated it to one section.

once you have found which connectors its between then you can search in that area for the short


if you can post a wiring diagram i can try to show you where to test at.
