Electrical problem
1991 Ford Tempo Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have changed the fuse for the blinkers many times. I know there might be a short in the steering column, but the blinkers have worked before. Is there anything else I can try to get them to work before I take it to the shop?

HI,
I am guessing that you checked, but do the emergency flashers work?
