Your manual will have that info. Look for Dir or Haz. Also you have 2 flashers on you fuse box. 1 for Dir and 1 for Haz. Also if a bulb is blown it won't blink.

I agree with MelWff,check the Turn B/U fuse to the left of the ctsy clk fuse first then check the flasher for power on the purple wire.

I had problems with the signals working intermitently. My '79 had a "noise filter" plugged in with the flasher, in parrallel. That made no sense to me, so I removed it and the turn signals work flawlessly now, and I don't hear any noise in the radio.
