A couple things that are probably right on your car but worded wrong above. LED are seen as an open circuit due to the low current draw. The best option is to replace the flasher with one designed for LED’s. If not the resistors need to be installed in parallel to the LED’s. If you had the stop fuse blow due to an LED installation there is an issue with the LED or circuit.
