Default Turn Signal / Indicator / Blinker Problem

I have a problem and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to solve it. I have a 1997 ti and it has a problem with its driver's side turn indicators not blinking. I cannot signal to make a left turn and it makes me look like a ****ty driver

Description of Problem:
All of the running lights work perfectly on the car, but only the passenger's side indicators work. If I use the signal arm or the hazard switch only the passenger's side indicators blink. The driver's side (including the arrow on my cluster) are completely non-responsive. No click, no response - nothing. I have swapped all the bulbs from one side to the other and they all work fine - so it's not the bulbs.

What I've Tried:
I read through what few threads I could find regarding this matter and decided to purchase a new flasher relay for $50 form Bav Auto. I thought - great problem solved. Well the flasher relay arrived and I installed it. When I turned on my car and hit the hazard light switch the lights appeared to work for a split second, but I heard a pop and all my indicators/running lights died. I thought to myself there goes $50. So I looked at the fuses and #34 (15 amp) had blown. So I replaced it and as soon as I hit the signal arm again the fuse blew. So I put the old flasher relay in and replaced the fuse, and I was back to square A (all running lights work, but only the passenger side indicators blink).

What's Next:
Well I am stumped - I thought the flasher relay would fix the problem and I would be able to make safe lane changes and left turns, but no. So does anybody have any more suggestions or a solution to this ongoing problem?
