Default Blinkers wont flash, window motor

I replaced the falsher and fuse, the hazzard lites flash and work, but when i put on a blinker it jus lites up, it dosent flash, i have know clue how to fix it, also the drivers side window dosent work, the pasanger does, it doesent make any noise or slide up and down, is this a bad motor or just a switch

No.... but ....
If one side works and the other side doesn't then the problem is not the flasher. If both sides don't work, then it may be the flasher but its a good idea to perform the following test anyway to make sure.
The 4th-gen f-body has two flasher modules. One for the left/right signal and one for the hazards. The same flasher operates both the left and right signals. That is why it cannot be the problem if one side works and the other doesn't.
Did you do the test?

The two flashers should be near each other.

mine was round and 2 prong IIRC, the top of it was like an unpainted aluminum almost. and its supposed to be clipped either to the steering column or the dash on the right side of the column. the clip was still on it (round metal thing) but i found mine down behind the center console right about where the bottom of the dash meets the console hidden down there (it wasnt clipped to the column like it was supposed to) and i had the exact same symptoms being described. the hazards worked fine but the turn signals didn't blink


it looked like this only unpainted (i think most of the replacements are painted)
