Possible Short in Electrical System! HELP???

I just bought my first z28(1998).
The guy I bought it from said it needed a new turn signal fuse because it keeps blowing out. I put a new fuse in today and it threw sparks. Then it melted the metal on the replacement I was installing. Is this a common problem with a easy fix or should I be worried?

He did install a cool safety relay to start the car but it's not attached to the blinkers at all... So that can't be the problem right?

I kept blowing my courtesy fuse bc my dome bulb was loose would disconnect and connect while the car was running. Might be an extreme long shot but check the bulb.
