Default Turn signal not working

I'm in need of some help diagnosing my turn signals not working.
so when I pull/push the turn signal to the left and or right the blinkers do not flash on my dash and or lights in the blinkers themselves dont flash. I've replaced the lights on the blinkers and I've replaced the turn signal flashers as well. The only thing I can think of is the turn signal switch in the column itself is bad? What do you all think.
any help would be much appreciated,thanks.

I had a similar issue, It was the ground wire on the left tailight. Remove the ground wire from the body and clean the surface and re attach it. you can also try to wiggle the bulb as well. sometimes they can get some corrosion and even though it is where it sits, the contacts are bad

Thanks for the advice I'll go and give it a try and I'll just do all the grounds while I'm at it.
Also they do flash when I hit my hazards
