Hi,

When you turn the signals on, do they do anything? For example, do the light but not flash? Is this something that happened all at once?

If they turn on but don't flash, there is a turn signal relay that may have failed. The turn signal relay, is located on the steering column on the turn signal/high-low beam lamp switch.

I attached a pic of the part I am revering to. See pic 1. Next check fuse 23 (if you haven't already) and confirm it is good and there is power to it. See pic 2.

Let me know what you find.
