I believe the emergency flasher has to work all the bulbs, not just one side. So It has a separate flasher and some different wiring.

Did you check fuses...

swap or check the flasher relay?

Turn on flashers go to fuse box under dash. one of the silver relay will be clicking. Switch it to where the one thats not. Check see if turn signals now work. If they do replace it. If not repost.

Swapped but haven't checked fuses (duh, I'll do that in a few, I don't think that's the issue but it would be great if it is).

Free, I'm going to check the fuses, but the swap didn't work.

Fuse #8 powers the turn signal flasher. From there the power goes to the multifunction switch and on to the light bulbs.

Fuse needs to be checked for power besides visual. Did you ever purchase one of these ? I remember replacing an ignition switch yes ?

I do have the multi-meter, but I replaced the fuse with a new one, and it's still not working. I'm at my wits end, and don't know where to come from here with these turning signals.
