Default turn signals/hazard lights blowing fuses!

I have a 99 Durango and never had problems with signals until recently. The blinkers just stopped. I replaced the fuse under the hood, but that only works for ONE BLINK, and then the fuse is blown again. I have replaced the flasher unit under the dash twice. This last time, I found a small rock in the right rear light assy, removed the rock, and flashers worked for about three whole weeks. Yesterday everything went out again.

I don't have a clue where to begin to look for a short in the wiring, but I don't know what else to look for.

Please help?

its a short somewhere, unplug all the blinker bulbs, and plug them in one by one, if it still blows with all the plugs/bulbs out then its something int he wiring, if it doesnt blow then its one of the bulb sockets, i would then start plugging them in one by one until i find which one blows it, there is your problem

Has the truck been in an accident? If it has,i would start with the damage area. If it hasn't been hit,then i would take out the bulbs one at a time as shrpshtr had said.

You're just low on blinker and bulb fluid!
