'91 Chevy Lumina blinker problems

The turn signal indicator flashed very irradically for a few weeks, then all of a sudden, no blinkers at all. I've checked the "flasher", fuse, and bulbs on front & rear and all are good. What next???
I appreciate any help. Thanks

If they light up but don't blink it still leads to the flasher. Make sure you are dealing with the right flasher and not the one for the hazzard lights, T

Thanks for the reply.
None of the bulbs are lighting up. Not the front, side, nor rear. The indicators on the dash don't even light up.
Also, I just realized that the flasher that I checked was the hazard flasher. Now, where do I find the turn-signal flasher??? I've been looking for about 10 minutes. Also, my owners manual is of no help. The diagrams don't show any flasher position at all.

I don't have the software DanD has here but the flasher should look similar to the hazzard flasher and should be if not in the fuse box perhaps hanging under the dash over the brake and gas pedal.
I still think you just need to throw that flasher out just to rule it out if nothing more.
Hit back with any more findings and I'll do my best, T

I’m at home right now and don’t have access to my component locator; so bump this back up to the top to remind me to have a look.

I don’t have a diagram for you but the component locator says that the turn signal flasher is “behind the instrument cluster, to the right of the steering column”. It’ll look just like the four-way flasher and it’ll likely be held to a brace or bracket by a spring metal clip.

Thanks again.

What would we ever do without Dan!??
I trust this problem will be flasher but perhaps only trying one will tell, T

LOL Tom; my wife says the same thing but I don’t think she’s all that sincere, you should hear the tone of voice she uses when she tells me.

Right on. You guys are awesome. The flasher was located at the base of the steering column, kind of hidden behind a bracket. Thank you both for your awesome info and for spending some of your time helping out a complete stranger.
