Fuses and Circuit Breakers are placed in an electrical circuit to protect the conductors [wires] from overheating damage, and the possible fires which can result. Fuses and Breakers are designed to detect excess current flow [measured in Amps], and when detected, "blow," cutting off the flow of electrical current. When these devices continue to blow when replaced, or reset, indicates an overload condition, usually caused by a short circuit [a hot wire in contact with something which is grounded, like a ground wire or a grounded metal part], or an overload [caused by something like an add-on device, a monster amplifier for example]. The way to fix this problem is to first find what is causing the overload, and then remove it from the circuit.

How do you stop that clicking sound from dashboard in a Oldsmobile alero?

You have to replace the hazard/turn signal switch located in the center of the dash. Oldsmobile issued a recall for this part in 2004. If it has not been replaced, the dealer will do it for free. If it has been replaced, and failed again (like mine has) you are on your own. Call a dealer to see if it has been replaced yet.
