Turn signals aren't working (fixed-ish)
When I turn on the hazard lights, they work. If I turn on either turn signal, the bulbs just stay lit, no blinking, and the green arrow on the dash also stays on. I've taken to doing the blinking thing manually, but I'd really like to fix this. What'* the first thing to blame so I can start troubleshooting?

Thanks! Should I just replace those blinker thingies then? I'm sure I could fairly easily get to them. From looking at some others as they were outside of cars, I'm assuming these things push in and pull out pretty easily.

Figures the only one I could find is a blurry picture, but it will give you a good idea.
Right on top of the fuse panel there, just pulls out and unplug it., plug in new one and your set.

The turn signals are working! I have a slightly different blinking speed now and a quieter click from the new flasher, but that fixed it! Thanks a whole lot!

It truly was. Thanks a whole lot!
Also, now with the new flasher and its softer noise, my car has a more contemporary, less clicky turn signal flashing sound.
