Turn signals stopped working

I have an 84' Z28, and my turn signals (inside and outside) stopped working all of a sudden. I could use some help trouble shooting the problem!

I'm going to assume you replaced the fuse already.

Probably needs a flasher. It's not the one on the fuse block. That one is for the hazards only. There's another in/near the "convenience center", which is the little tray kind of thing that the diagnostic connector is mounted to, for the TS.

I haven't done anything to it, because I don't know what to look for. Any recommendations on a "how to" video would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Turn signals stopped working

the flashers can be 2 prong for 4-way flasher or 3 prong for signal lights, if i remember correctly. Years ago I replaced both flashers on my Buick GS

Ignore The LED Flasher Upgrade And Skip To Minute 8:23 In The Vid It Will Show Where The Flashers Are Located

Do all the lights work when you turn on the parking lights? (1st click out on the switch). On my '83Z I had one of the front bulbs go out and it wouldn't flash/turn signals wouldn't work (the working lights would just light up but not flash).
