no turn signals!

so about six months ago i tore my car apart to paint it and everything worked fine, and now i put it together again and nothing works! i got my headlights and the whole front to work, but my rear turn signals wont work

when i turn my lights on the front two turn sig lights stay lit, and the two green arrows on my dash are both lit, but nothing from the back ones, and if you push your turn sig lever up like to make a rt turn, the rt arrow goes out, and same with the other way

and by the way my brake lights and back up lights all work normal,

so is it a flasher? i dont hear any clicking at all, and if it is where are they located on this car? thanks guys!

Re: no turn signals!

You lost a ground wire somewhere. The signals on the dash are coming on because your lights are grounding thru them. Run a few temporary grounds from signal lights or headlights. Play with a temp ground on your lights and you will find the broken/disconnected ground.
Good Luck,
