Turn Signal Gremlins
So my hazards work, but my turn signals do not even try to work it seems. No clicking and the lights in the dash do not light up.
I have checked all fuses, including under the hood.
I have also replaced the switch in the steering column.
Thanks in advance.

Ever try swapping the turn signal flasher with the hazard flasher and see what happens?

I have replaced both but i will check. I have had the flasher go bad before and the lights still came on, but just didn't blink.

Update
Okay, so this gets weirder.
First, I checked that connector, and it looks fine. A little goopy, but fine.
Second, apparently my hazard flasher was dead, because when I switched the flasher units, the hazards came on (apparently I screwed up something when doing the switch and got them stuck).
Third, after switching the flashers, the turn signals worked briefly. Now they don't work again. I have tried a brand new flasher unit to no avail.
Thanks again in advance for any help.

It has suddenly occured to me that the turn signals may not be working now because of the hazards being stuck. Any thoughts?

Fixed it. The hazards being on, regardless of fuse or flasher apparently prevent the turn signals from working.
So new switch, new flashers and everything is good. Finally.
