Check all that you can find. Also, the turn signals go through the emergency flasher button on the dash. Try pushing the switch on and off several times to try and clean the internal contacts. It's a pain to replace but you may have to.

hmmm, if the drivetrain was out while at rpm there is a ground on the driver side rear frame near the cradle that is for some of the lights but I'm not sure exactly which ones... the wire harness routes through the cradle and the ground will have a ring terminal that fits onto a stud sticking out of the frame... it's pretty easy to spot and you might be able to get a hand in there and see if it's loose without having to jack the car up, it's worth a look anyway
