Default Dreaded Blinker Issues

Hey guys, I just picked up a 98 T/A a couple of days ago and I have a slight issue that needs to addressed... none of my blinkers work at all. When I turn on my blinker, nothing happens. The light on the dash doesn't even come on, and when I hit the brakes with a blinker on, that side's brake light doesn't work. Any ideas?

Turn on your hazard lights, walk around the car, and replace the bulbs that aren't blinking. However if you got the car this way, chances are that there is a reoccuring problem and you might need some new sockets.

if both sides went out at the same time, chances are its not a burnt bulb...its the flasher unit. Its 10-20 bucks at an auto store, located on the right side behind the driver's side kick panel.
