[DeTomaso] Turn Signals inop.

[JPEP33 at aol.com]

Here is a good one. Driving home yesterday the turn signals totally stopped 
 working. Even the indicator light on the dash would not light up. Checking 
 around, fuse #8 and #12 are fine and all the other lights are fine. Also 
the  emergency flashers are inop. I dropped the column,removed and inspected 
the  rather new turn signal switch (6 mo. old)  and checked the connections. 
All  seemed fine. The horn blows properly. I also plugged in a spare 
flasher, all's  the same. Could a bad emerg. flasher cause this?  What am I 
missing?  Help!
