I'm having this problem right now, on the same model, with 30,000 fewer miles. My mechanic diagnised the issue as ignition switch failure- he says that the spring which should retract a pushrod, or something, is not retracting, and therefore the starter continues to be engaged when it should disengage. The starter is thinking that it should be engaged, when you don't want it to be engaged because of the electrical current sent to it by the ignition switch. Get it? This can also cause the car to engage the starter in neutral and park, but not in "drive, reverse, 2 or 1". Another good point is that the switch can be switched out with a new or used part without having to rekey the vehicle. Good luck!

Why would 2004 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo with 146000 miles all of a sudden start blowing 15 Amp warning flasher fuse that controls the turn signals?

You have a short in that part of the electrical system. Everything that works stops working eventually. You're going to have to get this fixed and since electrical systems are not my forte at all, I would take it to a mechanic and hope for the best.
