Default turn signal problems

HELP!!!
My project is coming to an end, but, I am having a difficult time getting my turn signals to operate. All of the bulbs have checked out. The hazard flashers work. The lights light up but will not blink. I replaced the flasher and the module and still no blinking. Can anyone suggest were to look next. :flag

Make sure you have a good ground at each socket. Had the same challenge and this was the issue with mine.

Good Luck.

I had heard that I was probably having a ground problem. Not to sound stupid, but were would the ground be if all of the sockets are plastic? I tried to trace the wiring to look for a broken wire or a loose connection but I was unsuccessful. Is there a main ground terminal somewhere?
Thanks again :cheers:

were would the ground be
On my '72, there is a ground wire off each socket that bridges to each other and a main ground wire runs to the frame on the drivers side beside the gas tank.

Are you sure you replaced the right flasher? (I only mention this because it is a mistake that I made - I didn't realize there was more than one)

I cxhecked the three round flasher units and the rectangle module. No luck. My vette is a 80 and all of the sockets and lense blocks are plastic. The wireing diagram shows a central ground. All of the lights come on just won't flash. Would the lights illuminate if the ground was bad? :confused:
