Welcome to 2CarPros.

There is a change it is the multi function switch on the steering column. If you look at the attached pic, you'll see that both the flashers and signals are powered through that switch. However, I need to know something. Do the light turn on and not flash or is there nothing?

Let me know.

Welcome back:

You indicate the flashers stay on steady. Do both sides of the exterior light come on? If not and only one side, I suspect the switch has failed. I have a flow chart if you want to check the multi function switch operation. It is somewhat involved, but I'm happy to provide it if you feel it will help.

Let me know.
