Default Turn signals not working

OK, so my turn signals aren't working...the corner light comes on, but not the flashers in the front & rear, nor do I have a flashing green arrow on the dash. I tried changing the fuse already. The hazards work perfectly. What else could it be? I noticed that the problem happened gradually, seemed like when the turn signals when they were working towards the end would get stuck or skip a few blinks...very weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated before someone rear ends me! Thanks!

Try flasher or swap turn signal and hazard flasher and see if turn signals operate correctly. If they do replace flasher.

The flasher failed. Replace it

Thanks guys. Is this something fairly easy to do on my own, and if so what would the steps be? It's so annoying not having turn signals!

Pay someone who knows how to work on cars. We're not here to train you, just point you in the right direction!

You could do it yourself, panel and shield beneath steering column need to come off to access it. You should invest in manual(s) so you can minimize your oouuff's
