Their should only be one turn signal flasher. there is also a hazard lights flasher. pwr comes from fuse to the flasher, from flasher to steering column, back out to the bulbs, to ground. the ground is through the bulbs
Here is the location of the flashers

I have a bulb out in the dash and don't see anything flashing, but I can tell you that the actual bulbs outside the car are blinking. I believe the PC is only there for dash lights as far as your signals go. You may still have the actual signals working...

ok. Here is what we know about Jose:
1. The Flashers are working
2. The turn signals are not working (Both inside the car and outside. Correct??)
3. The fuse is good.
Conclusion: Must be a grounding problem or broken wire, could be something as simple as a bulb being burnt out!!
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!

thanks Dan. that's what i was thinking too. but, if the bulbs are bad why do i have flashers? and all four bulbs are out at the same time? i was thing a bad ground but some one told me they ground at the socket and there's no ground wire under the dash.
Here is how it goes pwr from the fuse to the flasher, from flasher into steering column to combination sw , out the column tolight bulbs, then to ground the flahers are a seperate circuit through the combination switch
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.
