Default Turn Signal Issues

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport and I am having problems with my turn signals... they don't work. My 4-ways work perfectly and I've checked and replaced any blown bulbs and I've switched my relays around to check them, but my turn signals still do not work at all. The arrows above the column don't even flash. What could this be?

x2 sounds like the switch. Mine didn't work but the 4-ways did.... but it could be the clock spring also.

Is there any way of testing the switch before I drop $50 for a new one?
And same for the clock spring if the switch isn't the case?

There is a harness under the air box. Pull it apart and clean it out really good then spray electrical cleaner and di-electric grease in it before you spend money. This fixes the problem a lot of the time. Good luck.
