Turn signal / hazard fuse randomly blowing in 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

The fuse for the turn signal and hazard circuit has blown 12 times in the last 5,988 miles.

Sometimes 500 miles will go by without the fuse blowing. Other times, the fuse will blow in 35 or so miles
2006 Honda Civic 4-door sedan Hybrid
74,513 miles at present
First fuse blew at 68,525 miles in September 2016 [5,988 miles ago]
New Bumblebee hybrid battery pack installed at 71,308 miles [2,783 miles after the fuses started blowing]
The car has had 2 front-end crashes. Previous owner ran into things on two occasions [destroyed the radiator, hood, and windshield. I’m not sure whether the fenders and bumper cover were destroyed.]
A mechanic told me that all four of the turn signal bulbs “are working.” I assume that he checked and confirmed that the turn signal filaments in those bulbs were working [the two-filament bulbs are for turn signal and parking light]
The mechanic drove the car over rough gravel roads and made left and right turns in attempt to cause the fuse to blow. Fuse didn’t blow
The mechanic pulled back the 2 front fender well covers and couldn’t see any damage to the wires
I’ve removed the 2 front turn signal bulbs and found no corrosion. Haven’t yet looked at rear bulbs
