My turn signals quit working. I lift the lever but no sound or no blinks . Any DIY ideas for a fix?

Do the turn signal lights come on (not flash) when you hold the lever up or down? If not, the turn signal switch may be bad. If so, the flasher may be bad. That’s what makes the clicking sound you usually hear, and it’s usually under the instrument panel. Also check the fuse for the circuit that includes the turn signals.
