You can get a wiring diagram on ebay quite often. Do the brake light's work? And yes that silver round thing is the flasher.

Check out the ARTICLES section right here at FTE! There's a detailed article on how some guy fixed his turn signals. I'm not gonna go into detail, but all roads (&wires) lead to turnsignal switch. Do yourself a favor, READ THIS ARTICLE!!!!

Pull the bulbs and check with a test light for current in the front turn signals. If you have current, test or replact the bulbs. If no current, check and clean the grounds for the lighting circuit. Park lights may need a ground check also.
