Default Turn signals.. grr

So I haven't started my trans am since november due to this crappy weather. Tonight I brought it out of sleep and it started right up, went for a drive to get gas, everything perfect except one thing.... My turn signals aren't working. I have led's in the DRL's with a electronic flasher for the past idk 3+ years, never had issues except bulbs burning out, no big deal.

When I put a turn signal on, right or left, no green arrow shows on the dash, no blinking noise, and front or back do not blink, it's as if nothing happens. I noticed I have a rear sidemarker burn't out so I will change that sometime when I get time also. I am thinking maybe my electronic flasher went? I'll probably go buy a new one sometime and throw it in quick to see but just checking what you guys think? Thanks

It could be your turn signal flasher or your switch or a fuse or something else.

Do your hazards work? Do your DRL's work?

If the DRLs work, that means that power is getting to the lamps and filaments. The flasher feeds the relays in the DRL which make the actual "blink," so either the flasher is bad or a switch/wiring upstream of the flasher is bad.
