Keep blowing fuse #12. 300TD

The year is a 1983 300Td.
I keep blowing the #12 fuse (blinkers, windows)
This is getting quite dangerous due to the fact that I cannot give hand signals b/c the windows are down and the blinkers don't work. YIKES!!

Well, I posted on this earlier and a gentleman told me that it might be that the clock's hot wire is touching another wire and it is shorting out something.
I replace the fuse and it lasts about4 or 5 seconds and then blows.
Well I pulled the wire to the clock and the first time I did it the fuse lasted a few minutes longer than usual and then it blew..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My friend told me to add a circuit breaker rated for 10 amps or higher and that should put a patch on the problem. What do ya'll think about this?
