Have you checked the flasher. They use a separate flasher for the 4-ways.

i only have 1 flasher in my truck, the 2 flasher set up is usually on bigger trucks where there would be too much of a draw on 1 circuit, i know you have a new switch but it might be bad, find your left turn wire and your right turn wire come off a hot wire under your dash and touch one or the other if they lite up you have a bad switch

The hazard switch in the column can prevent the signals from working when it fails. Try jiggling it and putting it in different positions.

the hazard switch is built into the turnsignal , its a push pull button in the right side of the colume

Not sure what you mean by "built into", but every one I've ever seen has been a small red plastic stalk, about 3/4 of an inch long, all by itself.

Do you mean it's built into the turnsignal stalk? If so, never seen that before (but I haven't seen all years, I suppose). I know if you hold mine half way in you can make one signal light come on, and a little further they'll both light up but not flash.

So... have you eliminated it as a source of the problem somehow?

Ok I figured out my problem , I had flashers an figured that since they worked that the blinkers would , turns out there are two Flasher relays ,and I only had one in. Bought new ones an now have blinkers also !!!! I guess there is still alot this old truck is goin to teach me but so glad I dont have to worry about getting pulled over because I didnt signal
