Turn signals not working

Hey fellow Ford fans

two days ago the turn signals in my 87 F250 quit working. They don’t blink in the front or in the back or in the dash. However, my 4 flashers still work and I believe my brake lights are still working. I pulled and inspected all the fuses and they appear to be fine. So I’m assuming something else is wrong. Any ideas?

Can you tell which one the blinker relay is? Is it in the fuse panel or somewhere else? Same with the flasher relay

it should be the big round relay in the fuse panel in the cab. the flasher relay is behind the blinker relay

Good luck getting the 4 way flasher out without loosing some blood on that '87. Recently changed mine out. I healed up after a few weeks...lol

Good deal on the flasher being the problem. Good thing it's right there looking at you, and not where the 4 way is. The worst part is laying on your back doing floor exercises getting to the fuse panel.
