Check with the "ON"
Pull the directional signal fuse and check for continuity, then re-install the fuse and confirm that you have 12 volts on both sides of the clips that hold the fuse.
At the harmonica connection check for 12 volts at "L" as it sends the power up into the column.
Remember key "ON"

Just to check, you understood that the emergency flasher and turn signal flasher are two different flashers, correct? Measure for 12v on the input of the turn signal flasher, and for pulsing 12v on the output. If you have those, the problem is most likely in your wiring or connector to the turn signal switch.

Now you know there are two flashers.
Three if you count the one for the alarm.
