If both sides are doing the same thing, there's only two possibilities - there isn't enough load on each side to make the flasher trip (usually burned out bulbs but can be corroded sockets or broken wires) or the flasher is bad. Are you sure all the bulbs are flashing properly with the hazard lights? That's the quickest way to find a problem - turn on the hazard flashers and walk around the car checking the lights. An electronic flasher will sometimes solve problems like this because they don't depend on current draw to keep flashing.

I brought the flasher to the shop with me, they crossed it at the auto store. My car had the original flasher in it. With the new flasher installed, the lights are still working( or not) as before. Hazards flash, left and right turn signal stay solid. Could it be the relay?( white item in the pic)

If its an electronic flasher, it should work. (It looks like it is one in the picture.) However; if the new flasher is thermal, the auto parts store won't have the correct one.
I'd suggest switching the hazard and turn signal flashers and then see what happens. You might have a dud or you may have purchased a bad flasher that someone returned to the store and slipped back in the blister pack.
