Do they not work at all or just light up but don't flash?

I'm pretty sure there is only one is later models like in my 99, and it is a square type relay flasher unit. There are 2 circular units in my 90.

Well you need a test light... and start checking things... like were you are getting power and a ground... the turn sig switch itself could be the problem..im pretty sure everythign runs threw that...but check the fuse box and fuses... they get corodded... just because fuse looks good dont mean its getting power threw it...
