Do the front AND rear NOT work or just front or rear.

I would check voltage at the bulb socket and grounds. Then go back to checking in the line, before relay, after relay, switch etc...

no the front and rear and indicator light on dash does not light I've checked the ground and everything seems to be ok I don't know which relays to check I don't have a manual showing which relays are for the turn signals I have switched some around and it has not made any difference

The wiring diagram is in the link below. I would check for power in/out of the multifunction switch, the connectors have problem too.

Hey North, What is your vehicle? I have the same problem, 96 B2300. The relay is under the dash, sort of above and behind the hood release latch. The first time I had this problem I replaced the relay, all problems solved. NOT, the problem is back. I have ordered the switch repair parts and will let you know if I can get any further.
