Try a heavy duty (truck type) flasher. They are not dependent upon load to operate, and will flash as long as only one good lamp is connected.

Your short is probably in the steering column behind the steering wheel. Back there a wire is soldered to a metal clip that snaps on to the plastic switch mechanism. If it got hot it may have melted the solder.
