Default Help! Front turn signals don't work

Drl lights work, but they do not blink for the turn signals. I've replaced the bulbs, bulb sockets, and multifunction switch and still no front blinkers! Any help is much appreciated

I see green, black, orange and purple. I know the steering column lock has been bypassed, but the previous owner said he didn't know how and that he had a mechanic do it. I do have the "service steering column" light on.

So a clb or lmc5 will install with those wires being cut? I'll check the passenger side fuse panel tomorrow. Thanks for your help

Recycle your your emergency flashers about 25 times that cleans the contacts. Your turn signals work through the emergency flashers switch.
