Could.
Ever done this? Or any of the ground refreshing found in the "pink link" of my signature below?
I suggest unplugging EVERY electrical connection in the engine bay you can find, whether engine related or not, and spraying it out with a good electronics cleaner, visually inspecting the terminals making sure they haven’t retracted into the plastic holder, and then plugging it back together. There’s a critical 10-pin connector for the front lighting system located in front of the air cleaner and behind the left headlight assembly. Don’t miss that one
. Also be sure that the connectors to the ballast resistor mounted near the air cleaner housing are clean and tight.
ALL of the relays should be removed, the terminals wire-brushed until shiny, and the receptacles sprayed out with contact cleaner. Then plug them back in. I do this on every Renix Jeep I purchase or work on for someone else.

would bad grounds, cause no turn signals?? Have changed ALL the bulbs, ALL the fuses, both flashers, the circuit breaker and the switch for turn signal... by the way its all on an 88 pioneer... the hazards work great, but the dash lights cut off and on when they feel like it...
