Sounds like a short somewhere, check the wiring.

Your flasher button is the red triangle in the center console. It shows it in CAPS on 2gnt but doesnt blow up so not sure exactly, but I would guess its behind the button and console. A fuse only blows from overcurrent which is usually caused by a short as silver bullit said or using a lower rated fuse than what is suppose to be there.

One piece of advice though is that you should try and use proper spelling and grammar. At least sentences with periods and capital letters. You could always just try making right hand turns for now on as well.

If your emergency flashers work properly then its probably not the relay. The turn signal relay is behind the radio. You will have to pull the radio out to get to it. Once you have the radio completely out it will be a black box with a harness attached to the bottom of it on the right side bolted to the frame that the radio bolts to also. Open your glove box and you will see the head of the bolt holding it in on the right side of the glove box. Then use a ratchet & long extension w/10mm socket to reach it.
