No Blinkers

My truck has been sitting for a few months and today I finally got my new transmission in it and got it started/driving. All my lights work fine but I have no blinkers, nothing on the dash, front or rear. All the other lights are working fine. The blinkers were working fine when I parked the truck. Is there a fuse that could cause all the blinkers to stop working all of a sudden? Any other ideas? Thanks for any advice!

Are your hazards working? if so, swap the flashers around, if the blinkers work now, you found your problem.

sounds like both flashers are bad, one is for blinkers, the other for hazard.

I am only able to locate one flasher, under the dash near the fuse block. Is this for the blinkers or the hazards? Where is the other flasher located??

Time to take a trip to NAPA, i suspect the flasher for your hazards is missing, and the flasher for your turn signals is faulty, 4 bucks and you're back in business.

I was messing around and figured out that if I hold the hazard switch on the column, the blinkers work. Just a small amount of pressure of the 'HAZARD' switch on the column makes the blinkers work. WTF!! LOL.

I wedged a small piece of a zip tie in the hazard switch and the blinkers work great. Does this make any sense to anyone???

I am wanting to start driving the truck again but I'd like to have blinkers, I really dont wanna rely on a piece of zip tie wedged in there lol......
