That happened to mine when my front bulbs went out. My front right blinker went out and the back one still worked. So it just stayed solid until I changed out the bulb. Then it blinked again. Just replace the front bulbs they are like $5.

i had the same problem, all u need to do is replace whatever bulb went out, and your light will start blinking again.

I was thinking of just replacing all the blinker bulbs and hopefully that would work, fuses and everything else good, i thought the blinker light worked, maybe it doesnt.

Yeah it probably doesn't. The light on the dash will stay solid, but the lights on the outside of the car don't light up.

Just replace both front ones to make sure that's not the problem. It's a cheap fix or at least a cheap test to get that out of the way.

hmm, well you check all the fuses? Both the engine bay, and the side of the steering column? If those are all good then I don't know.

Turn on your hazard lights and see which one doesn't work. Then replace it.
If an entire side is out, it may be a relay.

check your side markers as well.

Turn all of your lights on then hit the turn signal and you should be able to tell what one went out. they are dual filiment bulbs so they can work when the car is turned on but when you make a turn that part of the filiment is broken.

Good luck.

Lol I'm sorry man, it was just a link to "blinker fluid". Link worked for me.

On a more serious note, we had the same problem in my dad's car, changed the bulbs and his blinker started working. I'd try what steveb1 said, turn on your hazards and see where you are.
