The one highlighted is for the hazards... The 10amp red fuse on the row below, 3rd from the left is for the indicators.

Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Have you got a multimeter? You may not need one but it might be an easier fix if you do. You can get one <£10 if there's a Maplin nearby or borrow off a neighbour.

I can't imagine why they would.

Which fuse is blowing? Both of those mentioned above? You've probably got a short to ground.

I'm not up to speed with the light clusters, but if you can get the connectors removed from the indicator bulb holders and still blow a fuse, you can discount bulb holders and start looking at the wiring. If you've identified the right connectors, then you can start following whatever exposed wiring there might be.

Just an idea - not the 'right way' to go about diagnosing necessarily, but it's where I'd maybe start if I was faced with the same.

Take all bulbs out ,2 put indicators on and refit bulbs one at a time then see when it blows with which bulb done it,just a quick wy o pinpoint source then check those wires,hope this helps a bit
