sounds like an earth problem...
or the actual switch isn't working ??
if it was blowing fuses then its most likely short circuit somewhere.. most likely in the switch itself??
loose connection???
blinkers were pretty basic in early beetles..

With the steer wheel off you'll see a lug on the back of it. This hits a tab that sticks out of the indicator switch on the inside so that when the
wheel is turned the lug hits the tab and turns the indicator off.
