Both left AND right don't work? If it's just one side, and the dash lite comes on, you've got either the front or rear out..you should be able to look and say, the rear is dark, the front should be on constant, just like the dash lite...if you ohm'd out the bulbs and ok, look for a bad ground at the dark bulb socket...ahem...ya know, fiberglass fenders and all that rot...

All the bulbs are working....now. Both sides...and the dash light comes on for each respective side..but no flash. I need to dig out my wiring diagram to find th other flasher.
Did find some grounding ssues in the front though. The pigtails that run from the harness to the parking lights in the grill were not connected right. Who ever pluged them in last did not get the "ground tang" into the socket...kinda bent over and missed the slot...

The second plasher should be mounted to a clip on the passenger side lower dash panel. You should be able to run you hand along the lower inside edge and feel it. Same flasher as the one in the fuse panel.
Could also be the switch.
