Default Turning signals not working!!...help!

My buddy is have'n some issues with his 97 V6 camaro. I checked the fuse and its fine,............what else could it be? Both signals are out!

He's finally make'n the switch to an 98 SS and he's try'n to unload this sucker in a week for some extra cash. We just need to figure out why both the rear turning signals don't work.

check the sockets, they have a tendancy to corrode and build up orange crap...some alcohol will clean them out

lol,....the only way you really can,..I pulled it out and it was'nt scorched or anything. Just to be safe I also swapped it with one from my car to test it. So it wasn't the darn fuse itself.
