Default Blinker Question...

This morning as a was driving my 1999 Dodge Avenger ES into work, i went to make a turn and like any good driver i used my blinker, problem is... the blinker did not work. There was not green arrow flashing on my dash, and the lights didnt flash at all. I did a little checking when i got to work, and im no mechanic so i have no idea whats wrong. The emergency flashers work... but not the left/right directional flashers. Now that i think of it, they didnt even make the clicking noise when i had used them.

Can anyone point me into the right direction? Ive read online in other places it could be the "flasher" or a fuse, or a blown bulb, or a wiring problem... of course anyone online can be an expert, but this being a DODGE forum, im sure someone would have a more precise correct answer for me, HOPEFULLY.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!

unless you burnt out all bulbs at once (since the four ways work no way)
The fuse would be the first thing to look at but if it's blown there's likely another trouble that caused it to blow

Ive had my fuses checked, and the professional whom checked them said that they were all in good shape. My father, an old school mechanic, said that it could be the "Flasher" mechanism. He tells me that inside the flasher mechanism there are 3 seperate fuses or switches that control the hazard lights and the left/right blinkers. Im hoping this is the issue and not a wiring issue... does this sound like a possible issue?
