Reply to "Flashers / Turn Signal Don't Work... Any Electrical Experts?"

It sounds like the hazard switch is bad. Turn on the ignition switch, move the turn signal switch to indicate a turn (either L or R). Then try wiggling the hazard switch button a very small amount and see if you get a flash from the turn signal indicator in the tach. If you get the turn signal to at least flash, then the hazard switch is bad. Even if you don't get the "flash", the switch could still be bad.

Disconnect the nylon connector for the hazard switch (behind the dash). On the wire loom side of the nylon connector (NOT the switch side), place a jumper wire between the terminal with the red wire and the terminal with the yellow wire (NOT the yellow/black wire). The turn signals should work (key in run position). You can leave this jumper in place so that you can drive the car (and have the turn signals working) until you receive a new hazard switch.

The backup lights may be connected to fuse #3, which means that you need to have the lights turned on (parking lights position or headlight position) for the backup lights to work. The backup lights are a small green wire and can be moved to fuse #10, 11, or 12. This will allow the backup lights to work without the lights having to be turned on (key must be on).
