Question No Blinkers or Hazards

So I went to signal right the other day and didn't hear the usual "click click click" noise that comes from the dash area. Upon further investigation I realized that the left and right turn signals on the dash (green arrows) weren't lighting up either. I then engaged the signal by lowering the lever and neither the front or back lights were blinking. Everything else seems fine, but there are no signals! Also, when I press the hazard lights button in nothing happens either. . .

I changed one of the back blinkers within the last month so I doubt that all four bulbs have been fried. I looked in the service manual and the useless truck manual and couldn't find anything about a fuse for the blinkers. I checked the fuse for the hazards in the engine compartment and it appears to be fine. As much fun as it is hand signaling during the day, until I fix this, I don't want to drive at night.

Any advice on where to look for a problem or what to do would be MUCH appreciated!

You are low on blinker fluid. LOL.

Seriously, there is a fuse box down on the drivers side of the dash board, open the door and look to the side dash panel and you'll see it. There are fuses in there that control the blinkers.

I checked the fuse and it's fine. So what I'm thinking, after reading random posts on google, your replies, and the service manual, is that the combination flasher is shot. So i'm going to try and replace that and hope the problem is fixed. Will post with the results.

Was finally able to track down a combination flasher and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the advice!
