Sounds like you have a wire pinched and it's grounding out. I had the same problem on my Chevy. Blinker can was getting hot and blowing out all the time. Rear blinker wire had gotten pinched in between box and the frame. Was grounding out and blowing fuses and frying the blinker relay.

My Dodge diesel 6.7 was running good and when I came home from work, shut off and 2 hours later I went to start and the engine turns over, but will not start. I thought it was a fuel problem, so loosen injector and turned over and had fuel. I tried to run engine analyses and nothing.
