I have replaced the flashers and the light bulbs are new, but the turn signals do not work. Any suggestions?

I've got a wierd one on this topic as well. All the turn signals work except the left front, it doesn't flash but does light up with the headlights on, the rears are all fine. The right side is fine. The left front will not flash, even with a new bulb.

First confirm all connections are clean and tight. Take 'em apart and look at them closely. May want to polish the connectors w/ emery cloth, then clean thoroughly before reassembly.

Next, and a common culprit, check the 40-million grounds.

Okay, okay, just check the grounds on the problem circuits. Again, unscrew/disassemble, give 'em the hairy eyeball, sand/polish/whatever the connecting pieces/frame, then reassemble.

When my turn signals and brake lights didn't work I used the electrical connection spray stuff you can get at Radio Shack etc
Disconnect power and spray into all the sockets. Use a Q tip to clean off excess. That might do it or you can dissassemble , sand, spray, reassemble.
And as has been mentioned the grounds are important, had those show corrosion too. It's a good idea to just find all the grounds as you might not know some exist and they are all important anyway.
My 2 cents,
