I can use my right blinker but as soon as i use my left blinker it blows my fuse and its very dim in the dashboard, i dont think i can use my hazzard lights either because i think it would blow them too. what can i do to fix it? someone said check the ground or there could be a pinched wire.

Sounds like the power wire to the left turn circuit is shorted to ground somewhere.Has the car ever been in a accident?
