I have a 1993 Escort Sedan - 1.9L engine - in which both left & right directional lights are not working. Neither does the flasher. Can someone inform me how to determine which electrical component is responsible for this malfunction?

Suspect the flasher itself. If NONE of them work, that would be the common denominator. It’s a two minute repair, and the part is quite cheap.

Sounds like the flasher to me also. Here is the location:

Thanks. And here I have postponed to fix this for over three months.
