I have read threads before saying that the turn signal flasher is on a pigtail under the dash by the column. I still can't find anything, so can anyone tell me where, or what color wires go to it? The parts store says it is the same number flasher as the hazard flasher which are apparently two separate entities. I have replaced the hazard flasher hoping that they were on the same flasher, but the turn signals still don't work. I'm lost here!

BLUE canister hear the long 8? wire black dash pod connector
looks like violet and green wires
typically in a springy clip right on or next to the steering column, LH side
use a good light and stick your head up in there.

Here's a photo (yes, it's upside down):

 

Thank you so much for the help, i found it!! It was probably the only thing under the dash that the previous owner didn't chop up. It appeared to still be the factory blue plastic flasher and was screwed in on the back side of the lower dash. You couldn't see it at all, just had to feel around. The wires were correct (purple/green). Thanks again!!

 

Note that this is technically not true.

The factory used two different flashers in each car:
One that was calibrated to only flash with a certain minimum load, for the signals, and
one that would flash no matter what the load (within reason) for the 4-ways.

The rationale is that the signals will stop flashing if one bulb burns out, thus alerting you to change the bulb,
but if you are using the 4-ways in an emergency, it may be with any number of bulbs inoperative because of a collision.
