Left turn signal lights but does not flash

Danny thank you very much for your reply appreciate especially the picture. But in my question I asked will changing the front parking lights make the turn signal flash and it did, the flasher now works great. I was told it was the rear light bulb that usually fix this problem but when that did not work I change the front parking lights.
I did however buy a turn signal switch as you mentioned but I cannot find it under the dash, do you have a diagram on how to take off the paneling under the steering column? I know I will need this in the near future the switch now is probably 30 years old as the car itself is, please let me know, okay? Thank you again Danny. Hope to hear from you in the near future, Tom

Danny thank you, but I am a little confused I thought the turn signal switch was under the dash and I had to remove only the bottom section of dash board paneling to get to it. Note, or are you showing me how to get to the emergency switch in your latest photo?

The one I would like to get at which seems to be the turn signal switch not the em switch, is this right, see photo here.

My mistake in explaining to you, I need the first option how to get to the "turn signal flasher" under the dash. Thanks Danny.

Danny L, I cannot thank you enough, you are fantastic, I have talked to other mechanics and they just don't know what to tell me when it comes to older cars like mine!

I hope I can come back to you if and when I need other help with this 30 year old car. Thank you very much, Tom
