had my fronts go out so my rear ones stoped working. the turn signal indicator on the gauge cluster show a steady light but if you put on four ways the rear would blink but not the front.

Have you checked the light sockets? I know my front turn signals lens are cracked right down the center (which I believe is a notorious problem). I changed out my bulbs last week, and the sockets should lots of corrosion. If thats your problem try spraying them down with electrical cleaner, and putting some di-elctric grease before putting the bulbs in. If that doesn't work have them changed out.

And you say that rears don't work either? Have you checked to see if your flasher is the problem?

Corrosion most likely. Replace both front sockets. They are sold at autozone as GM tail light sockets. 8 bucks a piece. If you ask them they wont say they have them in stock but they do.... go figure

Yeah, you gotta go look for them yourself. If the all-mighty Auto Zone computer doesn't list it, the employees will probably tell you they don't have it.
