The problem is in your hazard swithc. The turn signals are wired throught the switch and GM had a bad run of switches (imagine that ).
Two ways to fix it.

1 replace the hazard switch ( dash board will need to be removed it goes in from the back)

2 This is the one I use. When they don't work lightly hit above and to the left of the hazard switch with your fist. Works every time for me.

What I do is push the hazard switch on and off until the turn signal starts working. It works everytime.

Good luck.

It honestly amazes me why we love these cars.

I Swear, GM should send us annual "Loyalty Gift Certificates" Redeemable towards future service repairs.

My 99' does the same thing. I turn on the flashers and then the blinkers work again but this does not always help. Sometimes after driving for long periods of time they just won't work. I found the switch at GMparts Direct for $20. It is #10359036 for my car.

Another cure, jump a hot wire over to the base of the steering column where the turn signal switch is wired, and bypass the hazard switch.
