Need some help on blinker issues

So I noticed the other day that my front blinkers weren't working. I went ahead and got some new bulbs as they appeared to be toast. I installed them and they still don't work. Also, the only blinker that seems to be working now is the rear passenger blinker.

To me it seems like a wiring issue somewhere. They did work at some point in the past. I wouldn't think it'd be a fuse as they would all be faulty. Not sure on how the relay works, but I would think both blinkers for a particular side would be out if that was the case and since the back pass. is working and the front pass isn't that may help eliminate that.

Any ideas on trouble areas/connectors that may help chase this down before digging into the FSM and looking at the wiring diagrams?

Did you replace the blinker fluid?

Do the 4ways work?

I just had to fix a blinker

Up front just about 6 or 8 inches back from the bulb was a connector that the wire was broke off of. I took the connector off and as it was none replaceable i just hard wired it. This fixed my problem. There are two such connectors on mine and it affected the 4 ways also. Just one idea. Sharon

I checked that. For some reason when I plugged the other wires for the lower blinkers in they worked (don't have any lower blinkers right now). Temporary solution for the time being.

Im having the exact opposite problem. Three lights work rear passenger does not. And they blink slowly. Ive had the whole dash out chasing wires and I found nothing. The interior is mint so I really dont wanna toggle ˟˟˟˟ and make it all haggered ass.

mine ended up being nothing. I, embarrassingly admit, that I had the plugs backwards on the front light. I thought I had switched them around, but must have gotten side tracked when I was doing that part of my trouble shooting and plugged them back in to the same spots and wrote it off after that.
