Turn signal problems

My turn signals will not work. They don't go on at all, the arrows on the dash don't light up at all, and there is no clicking noise. Generally if I blow a bulb, the light will just turn on w/o flashing, ditto for the arrow on the dash. I replaced the flasher, which was an extraordinary pain in the *** , and that did not rectify the situation. I also checked the fuse, which is also fine. What next?

YC,

Do the hazard flashers (four-way) work correctly? If so, the wiring is probably O.K., since the same wiring is used for the turn signals. If not, you might want to check the electrical connectors at the base of the steering column.

It's also possible that you've damaged teh turn signal switch, which would waste a few of your spare hours today...

I should have mentioned that originally, but yes, the hazards are fully functional. They're the same bulbs right?

maybe i dont fully understand your question, but here's what happens on my car. i use the 1157NA amber lights. if i put them in backwards they're brighter but when you turn the turn signal on it doesnt blink. in the housing there's two connecters and there is two on the bulb try switcing them around. hopefully it will be that simple
