86 gt 5.0. My rear turn signals light up like they should but they dont flash. Any ideas? Im confused because my hazards work fine. Is there a different flasher for the turn signals?

Sounds like you need a new flasher for the turn signals. The hazards have their own flasher I believe.

Do you have any burned out bulbs?

They all light up. The front two turn signals are just on and the rear turn signals turn on as I put either the left or right directional on...

Your signal flashers and hazards are separate units. Get a replacement and get an electronic as opposed to a heat activated. The electronic will be more expensive but more reliable and the flash will be more consistent.

Also you can check if any wires have come out of the back of the hazard switch as well. A lot of the time they will back out of the connector and can cause problems

Maybe I misread, if the rears are doing something different than the fronts, then it's not the flasher.
