Default I kept blowing fuses for my turn signals...now it doesn't work at all

almost everytime I use my turn signals I would blew the fuse on my 90 crx. I tried every type of fuse 10's 15's 20's still the same results. But now this time when I was driving yesterday I turned on the turn signal and it didn't work but this time it didn't blew the fuse. The fuse is fine but none of the signal lights are working. I check for other fuses and the hazard fuse was blown. I replaced it but still no signals. All fuses are fine but none of the signal lights are working. All other lights work.

More than likely, one of your turn signals is shorted out. You'll have to trace turn signal wires looking for the short.

(note: The turn signal fuse is 10A. Don't use higher amperage fuses to "fix" a problem that will only cause more damage to the wiring.)

Also check:
-the turn signal/hazard relay
-the bulbs in the turn signals (are they the correct bulbs?)
-is there a short in one of the bulb sockets?
