Very recently I had the same problem with my 98 TBS. I was on an extended trip through New England and lost my turn signals when I hit traffic entering Boston.

The fan circuit and the turn signals share the same fuse on the TBS and the fuse was blowing whenever the thermostatic switch closed to activate the cooling fan. I had no problem in cool weather or when there was airflow over the engine, but as soon as the temperature was high enough the switch would activate and the fuse would blow.

The problem was a siezed cooling fan motor. The fix was a new cooling fan which cost over $200 from the dealer!
