NC 82 turn signals/brake lights/hazards dont work

so i went to test out these after my car sitting for 6 months but they worked before, i have jumped the car off a few times and none of the fuses are burned out, why would these just stop working out of the blue, the lights work dash lights work, every thing else works but these

Any ideas on what to check?

Could it be one of the fusable links?

No. More than that would not work. One link protects the headlights, another protects the headlight retractor motors and the third protects almost everything else. Turn signals and flashers could be the Central processing unit which contains the flasher. Brake lights are on a different circuit. Do the parking, side and tail lights all work? Do the front parking lights get brighter when the hazards are turned on?

I had the same problem.. It ended up that the flasher unit burned up.. and it is intergrated in a "ECU box" under the dash.. The same black box responsable for the intermittit windshield wiper controls..
