My blinker fuse keeps blowing while driving, not at Idle, I replace the fuse and within ten minutes the fuse blew again. I replaced it for a second time when I got home, everything is working again, haven't road tested it. Could this be a bad relay located in the same fuse box?

I also replaced the clockspring the night before, but did not mess with anything else while switching out the wiring.

If this problem was not there prior to replacing the clockspring, you need to recheck your work. something could have been dislodged etc causing the shorting.
