1997 Mercury Station Wagon 6 cyl Automatic 124000 miles

Ive had the entire assembly replaced and the fuses replaced and I still dont have working front turn signals. The side and back work but not the front. Ive had it checked out and no one can figure out why they wont work.
What can you suggest?

Hello, what model of Mercury station wagon? Different models appear to have different wiring diagrams? Regardless of what was replaced, I'd have to check for voltage on the proper circuits. Are you handy with a testlite?

Look around the outside of vehicle or owners manual, see anything that says cougar--sable--grand marquis, something like that?

I'd have to use a testlite on bulb socket/wiring, see if it is hot when it should be, if it isn't hot, I'd have to backtrack the circuit. Maybe a problem with the wiring.

Different shops may charge different labor rates. I don't know how long it might take to find the problem?
