Turn Signals not working

My signals were blicking very slow so i bought a new blinker switch. I put it in and the blinking was normal. The next day i started up and the signals didnt blink or anything. So i put the old blinker switch back in and it also did nothing now. Does anyone know what i did that would result in all of a sudden my blinkers would not work?

I agree; scrap the contact area on each front turn signal wire on the radiator support; Then put the new flasher back on; also determine that the contact prongs on the flasher wire aren't corroded! (check spelling)

By "blinker switch" i assume you mean the TSS (turn signal switch) if that's the case try replacing your flashers.
