Default Turn signal switch bad???

Hello,
I was driving my 68 vette the other day and noticed the turn signals werent working. After making sure that the brake lights, parking lights, flasher were all good, the only thing I am left to assume is that the turn signal switch has gone bad. Does anyone agree?
I looked around at a couple of the online sites for a switch, and it appears that 68 must be the odd ball. Two places were out and one other doesn't show one. Does anyone know who or where I might be able to find one of these for this car?? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

On my 75, there are separate flasher units for the hazard lights and the turn signals - make sure you are looking at the correct one. There is also a fuse (in addition to the flasher) - if you havent already, check that too before you mess with the switch.

Two flasher modules- one on fuse panel and the other under the passenger-side of the dash (next to ball vent outlet.) The one on the passenger side is the likely culprit.

Fuse in panel.

Good luck- hope it's just a plug and play module.

If it is the flashers just swap them. Should reverse the problem.
