The connectors going to the signals must have become disconnected. What were you doing before they stopped working?

Have you checked the bulbs? Checked the light connections or harness?

I agree, check the bulbs.

If it was the CPU or dash harness you wouldn't get the indicators on the cluster.

That suggestes that the problem must be at the lights themselves or at the harness going to the lights.

Now if you didn't get the indicators at the cluster then I would be saying the CPU right there.

Do the turn signals displayed in the cluster flash fast???
