Blinkers quit working but the hazards still work. Replaced the column switch, the flasher, the fuse, and it still doesn't work. I haven't found any exposed wires or loose grounds, so what would cause this?

Does anything happen when you turn the signal switch on? What model vehicle is this?

Nothing happens when I try to use the blinker. It's a Ram 2500 Diesel extended cab 2 wheel drive 5 speed. All power options.

I need you to go back to the fuse box and check if there is power there for the signals. Check both sides of the fuse to make sure power is going through it.

Already did that. It's getting power but it's a short somewhere but I can't find it.

The only thing you can do at this point is to start tracing wires. My first guess would be in the steering column.
