turn signals.....why don't they work?

Why? I've asked before but got no responses. I've searched but found no results.
Also, would the side marker lights not working have anything to do with that as well? Cuz none of them work, even when the hazards are on.

Thanks.

Fuse, bulb, or short in the circuit. I know for a fact the reverse lights, if one gets grounded it will blow the blinker fuse when you turn the blinker on.

The blinker fuse is underneath the steering wheel area right? Well all of the fuses look good. Will a short or something blow the bulbs as well, if that's the case?

But why would the hazards work?

If all the bulbs are good, and the flasher module is good, then you prolly are in need of a new switch.

What exactly are they doing? Do the lights come on, but just don't blink?

Well only "1" side marker works. All the rest aren't lit. I didn't check to see if it blinked when I put the turn signals on, but I'm assuming it won't. Only with the hazards on, I'm sure.

But here's my next question, does the turn signal need all the bulbs to work on either side to work, in order to indicate/blink/click/whathaveyou?

-Or does it function like the hazards, not need all lights working?
