I took the car to the Alignment Center yesterday, they did their work and on the way home I had no turn signals??..I checked the fuse box first, all lit up with tester, next I checked all bulbs and they all work, next I purchased a replacement #522 long life flasher and installed it..No turn signals?? I hate chasing these ghosts.. There are two wires on the passenger side under the dash that the flasher hooks into, one wire is pink and one purple, I think one goes back to the fuse box and the other heads up under the dash, I'm not taking the dash appart.... is there suppose to be power to the flasher by one of the wires?? If I there is suppose to be power and I have none, can I tap into a power source and hook it to the flasher wire?? Make sense?? Any ideas, all ideas welcome and become the property of the under signed........ Terry Spielman,

Sounds like a column switch problem..if you hook power to the relay without the column switch they won't turn off..just flash and flash..put a test light to the column connector and see if you can make it flash with the column lever..or if you have power even there..if not it's a broken wire between the column and the fuse box..is so then check to see if you can make a test light flash at the relay on either wire using the column lever..it probably won't though because the 4 ways work..might be a bad connection at the column connector..start there and see what you find..not to hard though..worst case is that you run a wire from the cold side of the fuse box to the column connector..r replace the switch under the steering wheel.

For my 1979 Corvette the turn signals did not light up or blink and all dash lights went off.  Upon replacing the turn signal flasher, the turn signals lit up and blinked and all dash lights came on.  This information did not appear anywhere in the owner's manual or factor assembly manual so perhaps it is unique to the wiring in my car which doesn't look to be hacked and in original condition.

I have the same problem with my '81. I replaced all of the bulbs and the flasher on the fuse panel. Nothing. The hazards lights work, but nothing from the turn signals. The lights don't come on or blink. I've also got a horn that won't work. I replaced the fuse and the contacts under the button, but it still doesn't make any sound. I think the problem is in the steering column.

Any other thoughts?

I would agree that your issue is in the column. Most likely a break in the turn sig wiring harness....a pita to change.
