66 Roadster, my front blinkers are out. Rear blinks and brakes work. Fuses are ok. Now what. I did see the flasher may be bad. Location by the radio? Thanks for the help.

The flasher works all four corners. The flasher won't cause some to work and some not.
The things that will cause the rear to work and the front not, provided the symptoms are correctly and accurately described.
Bad or incorrect bulbs in the front
Corroded front sockets.
Bad ground on the front sockets (both sockets should be grounded by a wire running to the radiator support If the front park lights work, you can eliminate the ground as a problem.
The connections from the socket to the ground or to the turn signal switch wiring (under the wheel wells at the front)
Connections inside the turn signal switch
Answer this question for me, when the rear are working and the front not, do the flasher indicators on the dash work? The very first thing I'd check is the front bulbs, they are dual filament bulbs, one for park and another for signal
Connections at the plug from the turn signal switch to the firewall connector. (just above the steering column, sometimes called a harmonica connector) sometimes they aren't snapped completely together or the wires push out slightly.
If you've done any work anywhere in those areas just before this started, that's where I'd start looking.
I don't see it in your picture. I do see the horn relay. The ground for the horns front lights everything up front is several black wires mounted under a screw on the support that holds the radiator. If the other stuff works it would have to be the wire that comes from your front parking light sockets but as I said earlier if your parking lights work then it's not a ground issue. It's probably around the bulbs or in the turn signal switch. Read my other post again and see if anything in there helps with that.
