My turn signals, burning fuses
About a week ago going i notice that wen i put my left signal on it burn the fuse
wen put on right side it works, my hazards work, when setting the lock on my key fob they blink. so i bought a turn signal switch from a fellow member thinking that would solve the problem but wrong
Any advise on this? i hope its not a major electrical problem

Which fuse? 'Turn' or 'Hazard L'?
Hazards will flash all 4? If you unplug both of the left side bulbs, does it still pop the fuse? If not, then try them one at a time.
If so, then...
First thing I would check for is any damage to the connectors for both the hazard switch and the turn signal switch, also testing the switches themselves. Next would be continuity testing on the wiring harness, checking grounds, etc.
Really there's only a very small portion of wiring that bypasses the hazard switch when you use the turn signal switch, and it should pop the fuse when you use the hazards or locking/unlocking the car with the keyless entry remote.
