turn signals won't work

anything besides the fuse i might check? the car is at my mechanics right now, getting the master cylinder put in, i'm gonna check the fuses as soon as i go to pick it up tonight, and was wondering if there was anything else i might check on

the switch itself. my car blew a couple of fuses not too long ago and i never found out why. rear lights/gauge lights (illumination fuse) and i THINK turn signals/heater/AC (struck me as a weird combination, but i replaced the fuse and the problem was solved). both were 15amp fuses.

if it is just the turn signals and hazards it is prolly your turn/flasher cpu
the box just to the left of your fuse box
held on by 1 10mm nut and 2 or 3 wire bundles...can be had at your local junk yard for 10 bux
check it first it's a hell of a lot easier than the switch

If it is the switch, the hazards will still work.

If it is the CPU or fuses, neither the hazard switch or the turn signal switch will work.

I also now stock rebuilt hazard/turn signal flasher circuit boards as well a completely rebuilt CPUs on my website if you don't want to try and mess with fixing a CPU yourself.

well, i found a fuse socket missing a connector, but i don't have a chiltons/haynes manual, and i don't have the fuse box cover, so i don't know if thats the fuse thats causing the problem... gonna have to look around the net for that
