I have an 85 GT convertible, my issue is the directionals will work in the rear and on the dash but not either of the front directional lights will come on. My emergency flashers will do the same thing, they come on except in the front, any ideas on where to look for answers would be greatly appreciated.

What have you checked? I assume you've tested the bulb? If it's not the bulb, you'll have to check for power for the turn signal circuit. Not sure if I have a 1985 EVTM with the wiring diagram, but i'll take a look

I checked both bulbs, their fine, directionals work on dash and rear tail lights, just not the fronts

Pop the bulbs out and probe the connections with a test light. There are grounds on the radiator support, one on each side, usually a small screw with a black wire near the fender,
