Replaced with another 15A. Signal works on instrument panel, shows on, but neither front or rear signal work. Left side. Right side fine. Any other fuses I need to worry about?

There don't seem to be any other fuses.

Are you absolutely sure the replacement fuse wasn't bad as well?

The other possibility is that the fuse was good when you put it in but then blew immediately. The best way to test fuses is with a multimeter, as it can be sometimes hard to tell visually, but look to see if the fuse element is intact.

If you have a short somewhere it could just keep blowing fuses (that's what they're there for, to protect the wiring.)

1st issue ever with fuse, lets hope it was a one off.

Car just lost its 6yr/100K GM Protection Warranty. Man I'm sad.....

In last 4 months had:

lifters replace (16)
right front wheel hub with yaw sensor
Window switch
Radio face plate (some lights out)
Lower and Upper control arms
and some bushings
I was making lists of stuff and trying to get anything replaced I could... :)

cost to me.... $0

Man I'm scared now, but I love my girl too much to let her go.
2009.5 white GT
Roto Fab CAI
X pipe
Kooks axle backs
Cortex - RotoFab 93 octane tune
Black Plastic Dip factory wheels and lower valance

And I have a banged up fender, from a 17 year old girl in daddies jeep. New fender in my garage. Saving extra coin to get it painted. 4 teenagers and a ex, so extra money is something I read about somewhere.. :)

She runs as smooth as when I got her.
Sorry for rambling, love to talk about my "Bitch" (Long story)

Last thing, I have seen 3 G8's on 202 in Phoenix recently. Gray I got a wave. Black nothing, both GT's. And yesterday a red v6, no arms throwing out or anything. Disappointing. But I do stay 85 in fast lane...

Glad it turned out to be an easy fix. That Murphy guy is always showing up without an invitation.
