Exclamation Blinker relay? AUGH! *headdesk* Help me?

My blinkers have always been sloooowww on my Nyghtmare (91 5.0 Vert) but NOW they don't work at all. I have hazards, I have headlights, I have tails, I have bright lights and dim lights. I have brake lights.

No blinkers.

I pulled every fuse twice looking for a break or hairline crack - the last time it did this a fuse was burned out.

It ain't a fuse. They're perfect.

I did note that when I put the hazards on, only the right arrow indicator in the dash/gauge panel blinks, rather than both.

Does this sound like a relay problem?

Anyone attempting to tell me I'm low on blinker fluid will be subject to a beating with a nerf bat. *EG* Constructive replies, please! This is my daily driver, but also my show car and I don't really care to be plowed over on the freeway trying to turn left!

Pull the hazard switch out and inspect the wiring, the turn signal wiring is routed threw the hazard switch. You also need to check your gounds.

the turn signal flasher is located to the left of the fuel door button in the glove box on a support rail, try replacing it

I guess its like a toilet.. jiggle the handle! I pulled the fuses, checked all the relays, got mad, threw a nuclear fit, walked away from it, and the next day, it worked fine, has ever since - go figure!

the hazard switch can collect dust and interfere with the connection, and the turn signals are looped through it. Try turning the hazards on and off a few times to see if it will clean out. I had it happen to me once.

My old fox had a similar issue. It was the wiring pulling out of the hazard switch on the column.
