Bad alternator or short in alternator wiring. You much need a wiring diagram. Is that the car? Was in an accident? You may have pinched wiring or a wire shorted to ground. Try new fuse with alternator disconnected, then with key on, connect alternator-watch for sparks, or clicks, -you might want to have the alternator tested, just to be sure. You have to start somewhere...
Maybe a wiring short in the blinker system? Or is the fuse blowing an alternator fuse?
I checked the alternator, totally fine, should I still try with alternator disconnected? Shouldn't it work without the fuse? Cuz it still does the same thing, just blinker are on, if I disconnect the alternator, I don't want to blow another fuse, they are like $6 :(
And yea, it's that car, the accident was not big enough for anything under the hood to break, just the bumper and the langerons, or whatever they are called in English
If you checked and alternator is good, don't bother disconnecting again. Short must be elsewhere. A way to test is to rig up a circuit breaker of similar amperage as the fuse. Rig it up with jumper wires to fit in the fuse slots. Then when you turn key on to look for short, the CB will save you buying fuses. The CB will go off, but come back on shortly. Also check for any ground wires that came dislodged from the accident.
