Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
I'm frustrated and a bit overwhelmed at trying to diagnose/fix the non
functioning turn signals - the ONLY electrical thing that does not work.
Everything else works: - headlights, parking lights, back-up lighst, 4 way
hazards (needed new flasher), brake lights, dash lights, heater, wiper and
washer, trunk light - everything works.
What I know for sure is that neither of the two wires at the turn signal
flasher are getting voltage. I'm not sure what to do next.
Thanks

=A0 12V has to come in from the hazard flasher,

tion also removes the 12V from being
sent from the Green wire thru to the LG/S (light green/slate) wire which c=

hazard pulled out, the turn signal circuit has no power, causing no problem=
