That fuse also powers the back up lights which are controlled by the range selector switch on the left side of the transmission. That switch is likely shorted out internally.

That would cause the blinker fuse to blow. Do I need to just get a new one or is there a way to fix it?

No, it would need to be replaced.

Yes, but they don't call it that any more. It's usually called a range sensor or range switch.
