Default Urgent... No turn signal??????

In my 1988 Mustang GT 5.0L hatchback, the turn signals stopped working. My hazards work, brake lights, reverse lights, headlights foglights,etc..... There is no clicking sound when the left or right turn signal is used and no arrow lights up either. What do you think... is it the relay flasher or turn signal switch??? If its the relay flasher where is it and what does it look like?? Its been a while and I forgot!! Thanks.. If its the turn signal switch is it expensive and is it easy to replace?? Thanks..

Look behind the glovebox (open the door and drop it down) to the left for the t/s flasher.

The relays are buried up behind the dash, good luck finding it.

When my power windows quit working I had to take it in to shop.
$300 to find a $30 part. Relay was a corroded hunk of junk.

you might just need some blinker fluid

Most likely. That is a classic symptom of a bad flasher. Or one side will blink and the other won't.
