Did you try a new Flasher? After that check the "Blue" wire on the connector at the base of the steering column for the Turn Signal Switch (TSS). make sure you have power going up the column, if you do then the contacts on the TSS are bad. You may just be able to put a new cam on it or will have to replace the TSS itself.

I know its obvious and redundant, but make sure all bulbs are good.

I used to have a similar problem where the RR turn signal would light solid and nothing in the front, turned out to be a wiring problem between the TSS (turn signal switch) and the dash. There may be an issue in your TSS, thats pretty common to my understanding.

I'm sure there are others on here that can answer better but I just thought I'd cover first base ;)

Good luck,

Are the indicator lights on and no flashing or is there just nothing happening at all? PM me if you need a switch as I have used ones in tested working order.

oddly with bad ground the brakes will work ok but the turns will not. but then they would atleast light.
