Exclamation 1980 toyota hazards work but no blinkers?

Basically my 1980 toyota blinkers work with the hazards on but when they are off and i flip the blinker switch i have to manually flip it up and down to get them to work. is there a fuse of some sort? and where is it located.
I'd appreciate the help

yes i did a walk around, my front blinkers dont work, they arnt wired. but my rears are wired. they blink with the hazards on but without the hazards on when i flip the blinker left or right it blinks once, if i flip it to the left 2 times it will blink twice. Basically i'm just tired of manuelly using my blinkers and looking for a solution.

i have a similar problem but my blinkers will only blink with the hazards on. They will not even blink manually. Ive checked the bulbs and all are good.

What do you mean "they aren't wired, But my rears are wired"? Sounds to me like that combo switch is bad.
