in my car i keep blowing my blinker fuses! it just started doing this today i put in 3 new fuses today in hope of it not blowing. but what do you think i should do go up a to a more amp fuse i think it is 12 or 13 amp fuse. and this is on my 64 riviera so probably nobody in town would know the electricals of it.

Do not go with a bigger fuse. Track down the circuit. You probably have a stripped or nicked wire that needs to be replaced. Putting a bigger fuse in just covers the problem up and could result in more damage down the line.

Why wouldn't they know the electricals of it? Alot of things on your 64 are probably much simpler to work on than a newer car. Or as he said find out where the damage is.
