Default 1988 blinker problem

im working on my friends 1988 and cant figure out why the blinkers will not work! The flashers work, but not the blinkers... i changed all the fuses and have checked the wiring and cant seem to find any shorts or anything!

Sounds like you did not check
the directions flasher. You checked
the hazards flasher.

The mustang flasher CAN NOT BE SEEN.
It is inside the steering column. It can
only be felt by reaching under the column
and feeling for it.
Once you remove it from the clip
you can replace it, but getting it back
on the clip is impossible.
