I know, first thing everybody wants to say is "flasher relay". Although the original flasher Relay was bad (only clicked for drivers side turn signal), the used replacement actually clicks for both left and right blinkers when held with fingers, so I'm assuming it's OK. I could try another used relay just to be sure...

Only left blinker indicator light comes o steady ehen stalk is pulled for left turn. Nothing for right. Emergency flashers also don't work but steady illuminate left blinker indicator. Tail lights work.

All bulbs are brand new. Have not checked yet for voltage at the bulbs, I'm assuming they work, will check if necessary.

Is there anything else (easy) that I'm missing that would cause blinkers not to flash?
 
The multi-function switch (aka the turn signal stalk) is the most likely culprit. :)
Stands to reason. I think I may have had the same problem with the 96 I brought back to life last year, but I'm old and have terrible short-term memory so I'll give myself a pass and pull it. I've even forgotten how to replace it and I did it last year! I have several more I could pull.

Thanks man!
