Check all your indicator globes. take them all out and see if it pop a fuse. Dont use a 25 amp either. use the correct spec.

If it blows the fuse with the globes out then you have a short in the wires for sure. Then put the globes back one at a time.

Hi Guy's,
I'm not an auto elec, but I've had my fare share of this issue. The buzzing you can hear is the indicator relay being tripped because of current reversal usually because of damaged ( crimped over time ) wiring in the indicator stalk, try ur luck finding a good second hand one in your colour or buy new after market - any colour so long as it's black, I found feebay to be the cheapest. Hope this helps.
Cheers
