Default 89 XJ Front Signals dont work Rears do

Hi i have a 89 cherokee limited and my front turn signals dont work at all, the rears work fine, i changed the bulbs up front, the indicators on the dash do not flash fast, was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and could give me a push in the right direction any help is appreciated, thanks.

I had to replace the sockets on all of mine. wires were corroded. I ran a test light and had power up to the socket. Atleast you found yours wasnt working, local law enforcement pointed out mine werent.

was thinking of splicing into the wires for the rear turnsignals and running them up to the front, if it is a bad switch in the column what do you think
