More electrical problems

So I fixed my blinkers thanks to an earlier thread, and my truck was working fine. Then when I go out in the morning, my turn signals aren't working. The hazards are working though. When I try to use the turn signal nothing happens, not even the indicators in the dash turn on. I tested the flasher and it's fine, but I'm not hearing a ticking in it like normal, so I'm guessing the issue is somewhere in the circuit before the flasher. I took the turn signal switch out and cleaned it, and it didn't look like anything was wrong. Fuse looks fine, and I tried cleaning the fuse connections, but still nothing. No dash lights ate working either, not sure if that helps. Sorry for the long explanation and asking stuff so much, you guys are just so helpful.

I replaced all the bulb sockets on the dash.
mine looked like they had some heat to one of them.
cleaned them up and no more issue.

Checked those sockets, seemed good, but thanks for the idea. I just tested the blue wire that runs to the switch, and it isn't getting power, but there is power to the flasher. So I'm pretty sure it's that circuit with the blue wire in between the flasher and the switch because the flasher is good. So does anyone have any insight on how to go about that?

I thought that blinkers were turn signals.

It's likely a sad connection somewhere. Vehicles with outside storage often have them. If you have a wiring diagram, you may have to take a test light or voltmeter and "trace out" the circuits which affect the turn signals.
