Default Turn signal failure

The turn signals on my '72 have stopped working. First one side, then the other. Is this a result of the plug in flasher failing?
If yes, where would this be located? Thanks.

The signal flasher fuse is located behind the map pocket on the pass side. Reach up under pass dash and follow the wires to the right. But I would think if the flasher/fuse was the cause, then both sides of the flasher operation would have quit at the same time.

Flasher failure will affect both sides at same time. You may have TWO issues: bulb failure and flasher failure.

I am guessing that you're both correct in that the turn signal stopped working all together, rendering both non-functioning. I probably observed this wrong. Thanks both for the info.
