Default Turn signals problem

So for the last few months my turn signals have been blinking really fast. I ignored it . Last week it started blinking even faster, to the point that you couldnt tell i was turning. Now it has stopped all together. Now the fuse is fine and when i turn my headlights on, the parking lights turn on. But my hazard lights work also. And when i turn my turn signals on the blinker in my car dont go on either. Any ideas what the problem could be???? THE FASTER THE BETTER i dont need a ticket for not using my turn signal and for faulty equipment! Also i have replaced the bulbs already

Mine blink fast too but the front ones don't work. I always thought it was a bulb going bad or something.

check the flasher relay located on the rail behind the dash to the left of the glove box where some have a trunk or fuel door release.

Anyone have a picture of this? I recently replaced my heater core... and now my turn signals no longer work....

I would assume this is my issue, since the work was on that side with the heater core...
I have checked the fuses and the turn signal lever the lever is fine... but... can someone tell me where the voltage should be? I see no voltage at the lever??? the flashers the windshield wipers/washer everything else works just fine...


Thanks

William
