Default Turn signals not working on '98 Camaro

All the bulbs are functional, flash with hazard switch. I get no indicators or bulbs lit when using turn signal switch. No current at flasher connection, fuse is good and have 12V at both sides. Seems to me switch in column must be bad. Is there anything else to check before I dig into that?

thanks

SO I disconnected this connector on the underside of the steering column, thinking it was the one in the turn signal switch wiring. After I disconnected it, the turn signals began working again, and continued to work after plugging it back together. Anyone know what this connector is hooked to? Wipers perhaps?

Well, everything in that area seems to work. ABS light is on, so need to look into that at some point.

Post a good Bessie pic.

Could be, but I couldn't see any corrosion or wire damage. Car hasn't been driven regularly in 2 years. Seems that gremlins work overtime on parked vehicles.

Had our old girl put down at 14 about 2 1/2 years back, looking for another female Bassett puppy this year probably come springtime.
She had a pretty good run for a Bassett making it to that age.
I bought a 6' X 13' kennel for outside when we're not home and plan on fencing in part of the property (We have 5 1/2 acres) sometime next Summer.
Sure miss that silly dog, Bassetts are such loveable clowns.

They appreciate the effort.
