My 79 has both flashers on the fusebox, I believe its the flasher on the right. Replace thje flasher first (they're cheap). On mine the flasher kept coming loose so I stuck some putty on it.

i put the flasher from the hazards that i knew was working and it still didn't work. is there a ground under the dash some where or could it be a broken wire that is in the plastic covering. what color are the wires? its probably something stupid like a loose wire or connector under the dash.

i feel the same way, i cant move forward until i fix this. read the shop manual last nite, the shop manual states to "replace flasher, flasher is located behind dash near steering column" is there a second flasher for the turn lights? my 73 Camaro has two flashers for the turn lights. when i read about the hazard lights it said  "replace flasher, flasher is located in fuse panel" this mentions the haz flasher in the fuse panel, but says the turn flasher is behind dash near steering column. doesnt say to replace the one in the fuse panel.

I see three flashers on that diagram:
1.  Hazard Flasher
2.  Anti-theft Flasher
3.  Directional Flasher.

reading the manual, it says. if turn signal fuse is OK and hazard warning system will operate lamps, replace defective turn signal flasher. defective flasher( located behind instrument panel near steering column).
in a different section it says, the turn signal flasher is mounted to the instrument panel lower lip in a clip bracket. is there a second turn flasher? my 73 camaro has two.
