Question why are my blinkers not working 91 mustang

I have a 91 Mustang and my blinkers dont work. I have checked all fuses and replaced the relay. my emergancy flashers work just not the turn signals. Not sure what to do about fixing that. Any ideas on what i should try next to fix this problem?

could have a bad switch, you need to grab a wire diagram and go point to point in the system

also check your blinker fluid, most of the time, nobody bothers to check and replace it

Hey had the very same problem with my 90 gt. There is a connector for the four way lights in the front. The signals and flashers are on a different connector. The connector u need to look at is next to the battery. Look at the color of the wires going into the signal bulbs. Match the colors up with the connector. I had to wrap a zip tie around both ends of the connector to keep it together. After year of wear and tear the clip that holds the two parts of the connector together wear out and no longer hold the peices together. Hope this helps
