If it makes a rapid clicking noise, then the problem is most likely the hazard switch, due to lack of use the contacts dry up and thus you have a bad connection the clicking you are hearing the the relay contacts trying to make contact.

Do the indicators work?

It sounds like you have a short though for it to be blowing fuses.
