If it's not the flasher, you could have a pinched wire shorting to ground somewhere.... WJ

check the bulb sockets themselves for corrosion, and any connectors along the way to the bulbs. this could cause a short and blow the fuse.

Are you sure you changed the directional flasher and not the hazard flasher? Try removing the one you replaced then see if the hazards work.

It very well may be the multifunction switch...if it's not the flasher, not the bulbes and not a fuse I'd start looking into the switch.
