Default hazards no longer working

ok, im goin down the road, and i go to use my turn signals.. and they stop working. my fuel guage, and temp guauge also bottom out. bring it home, find out its fuse #1 (89 hatchback) which is 10A and controlls "Turn Signal, Back-Up Lights" replace the fuse, everything works fine, BUT, now the hazards dont work. (shortly after, the fuse blew again, and i replaced it - again - and no problems as of yet) first, what could be causing the fuse to blow (its supposed to be a 10A fuse, and I put 10A fuses in there) and why arnt the hazards working nemore? i know it could just be the hazard switch, but its a little funny that it went out after the fuse blew.

well i would start off with the switch, if the switch doesnt work, the turn signals dont work.. if you have a blown fuse, and repeatedly blow them, you have a short somewhere

Did you mess with the hazards switch anytime? Like popping it out to get the dash off or anything? I've had trouble with wires falling off from that switch...
