What is wrong with your blinkers?
Do both sides not blink or only one side?
If one side works and the other doesnt then the problem is not the flasher since both sides use the same flasher. Turn on the hazards (it uses a different flasher also) and walk around the car. The bulb that doesnt light is the problem. Its either blown or the socket is corroded.
The 4th gen f-body is equipped with thermal flashers. If you installed LEDs, the thermal flashers need to be replaced with electronic flashers (example: Trident EL-12) since LEDs don't draw enough current for th thermal flashers to work.
If the problem is the flasher, its located under the steering wheel. Remove the shin panel and look to the right. The flashers are silver cylinders. There are two flasher units. One handles the left/right signals and the other handles the hazards.
There may be a fuse as well, but I dont remember.
