ok..so what could it be
 
I replaced a bad fuse for the turn signal. The new worked for a little then when out again. So i replaced the fuse again using a 20amp fuse. After ten minutes driving it when out again. What could the problem possibly be?.

short circuit because of a broken wire maybe?

A bad fuse would be one that didn't do it's job and allowed your truck to burn up. Let's call it a good fuse for doing what it was supposed to do.

Does the fuse blow when you signal left or right? Or is it intermittent regardless of signal operation?

I'm not quite sure. It started yesterday...Replaced the fuse with 15 amp...%minutes later it blew again...Figured a 20 amp would maybe work. It blew. So I replace again this afternoon and it's lasted all day. I was on the road for 200 miles today....This is so weird. I check for frayed wire and found nothing. The only thing I could think of was I may have touched the contacts before install the first two yesterday. It was dark and I was working with a less than adequate flash light.

sabaka...I would say intermittent; however, I wasn't paying attention. I figured the replacement fuse was the answer to the problem.
