Default 1986 cherokee (4x4 2.4) turn signals aren’t working, where do i start?

hey everyone! my name is zac, and recently my buddy got himself into a mess with a project. it’s an 86 cherokee and though it has many other issues, this is the one thing i’m stumped on. his blinkers will not work. however his emergency flashers do. the lever for the blinkers feels really loose and almost broken so i was thinking that could be the issue, but i had no idea how to even get the clamshell on the steering wheel apart. if someone could throw me a few bones here that would be awesome, he really likes it and we’re both trying our hardest to get it functioning again! thanks!!

Awap the turn signal flasher in the fusebox with the emergency flasher unit right near it. See what happens.

Here is a dumb question, how is the wiring to the bulbs? mostly the ground. It could be the lever also
