No offense just going through order as my brain processes ... Fuse, bulb, pull the turn signal out and check for continuity with the turn signal blinking, check ground wires, check continuity at the switch in the colomn.. hope this helps

Are you aware that your car has two flashers, one for the hazards and one for the turn signals? The one for the signals is on the opposite (back) side of the fuse panel from the hazard flasher. Reach up behind the fuse panel and you'll be able to feel it. I've had more than one person have that be their problem.

Shaolin --

Didn't you have a thread about electrical gremlins a week ago or so? I remember vaguely, something about that. If so... and now this new symptom is being added to the mix, I'll tell ya that I still think you have a stray ground somewhere behind your dash. The more you add these kinds of symptoms, the more I'm convinved that, that is where your problems are.

Dig into that mofo and look hard at ALL your underdash grounds. Reseat them all, cut and resolder questionable wiring and replace any splices you see.

Somewhere, you're getting stray voltage and/or not getting the grounds that you need for everything to work correctly.

I've been in this situation where similar problems occured and seemed totally unrelated. In my instance it was a single broken ground wire that ran from one of the dash harnesses to the dash chasis next to the radio. It was so very strange that all these gremlins I'd been banging my head against came down to this silly, skinny, ground wire.

I had the same problem, it was the ignition switch, I see you checked it, but Id just replace it if i were you, only costs 10 bucks, that also fixed a bunch of little problems I was having too.

i did, turned out to be the blinker asembly itself, once replaced everything started working

as far as the bold quote, this is a new build, bare chassis, i did this before it even went into the car, all grounds are attached and everything BUT the blinkers work now
