83 C10 - No turn signals

[ProStreet83C10]

hey guys, i went to a local cruise in tonight knowing i had no turn signals, figured it was flasher under the dash so on the way over i bought a new flasher, no luck, so i went on to the cruise in and when i got there someone told me i had no brake lights, so at that point i checked brake fuse, and it was blown. so i replaced fuse, got brake lights back but STILL no turn signals. So i asked a fellow club member, he came over and looked things over, he checked the top flasher, and it was very hard coming out - found rust on one prong and had a "rattle" when it was shaken. tried swapping flashers around and still no luck.

I also noticed that my 4 way emergency DO work, but my directional signals do NOT work.

No clue where to go from here.

Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my 77 C10 but mine was the tail lights and dash lights. The fuse blew so I put a new on in it and it blew again. I searched my truck with a fine tooth comb with no luck. Ended up replacing the harness from the firewall to the back of the truck and it fixed the problem. I tore my old harness apart and searched it inch by inch and could nver find the problem with it.

well i hope that isnt my problem. i do know that everything worked fine before my buddy used it for prom. sometime during that night he said he lost the turn signals. only other thing i could think it would be is MAYBE the switch in the steering column.
