Also check the bulb holders and the indicator switch itself and the loom inside the column.

Re: keep blowing indicator fuses randomly
Will have nothing to do with the indicators.
Will be the reverse light switch wiring on the gearbox,
or if it's 4wd it may also be one of the switches on the gearbox for that.
They are on the same fuse,
quite often the wiring breaks and shorts out,
or melts onto the exhaust.
