Turn Signal Mayhem

Ok, i've got a problem. Recently my turn signals have just been staying on, but not blinking(just a solid green arrow and the outside lights stay on as well). Here's the problem. I put in a new flasher and they will blink fine for like 30 seconds then they will just stop blinking and stay lit up (but not blinking). Also, for some reason when i unplug the flasher and put it back in, it will work again, then break in 30 seconds. Furthermore, if i leave the turn signals on, my turn signal fuse will blow out. Are there any other relays or flashers or fuses that i am overlooking? Do i have a huge problem?
Thanks
Dan

P.S. All of the outside bulbs work and my hazards will blink fine when my turn signals are broken.

Sounds like either the flasher is not the right one or the relay is sticking. Another way out possibility is a bad filament. When it heats up it stops working. Make sure all the bulbs are good and are working when the signal stays on.
