Turn Signals not working So I've had LEDs for a while with an EF32RL Flasher and it has worked flawlessly for 2 years. Well, all the sudden my turn signals don't work at all, either direction. The arrows on the dash don't even light up unless I turn the harzard lights on which work fine. All bulbs outside of the car work with hazards. The stock still clicks up and down and resets after turning like normal. I replaced the flasher, and that wasn't it. What else is on the circuit to cause this issue?

I'd guess that your backup lights aren't working either. That would be the 20A #2 fuse labeled TURN B/U. At least that is the first thing to check. Never rely on a visual inspection of a fuse, especially a 20+ year old one, because they can look fine but still be blown. Either test with a fuse tester or multimeter or replace with a known good fuse.
If that's not it, you'll want to check for 12V on the brown wire at the turn signal flasher socket and then again on the purple wire in the turn signal switch connector. If those check out then check for flashing power output on any of the output wires... dark green, yellow, light blue/white, or dark blue/white. If you have power going into the switch but not out then the switch is the problem. It's unlikely because the part that would have to be bad is actually the internal hazard switch not returning to rest position (which I can't remember ever seeing) but it's not impossible.
