What "flasher" did you change? If it's the one on the fuse panel, that is NOT the flasher for the turn signals, it is the flasher for the four way hazard lights. The turn signal flasher module is on a pigtail under the dash, to the left of the steering column. It is in the general area of the windshield wiper switch.
Cornering lights were never offered on the 1972 Cutlass line. If a vendor is selling a turn signal switch for that car WITH cornering lights, run, don't walk. away.

Before you get all wound up imagining what's wrong, check your hazard light operation. If they work, you just need to replace the defective flasher for signal lamps. Deal with this one step at a time instead of imagining what if situations.
i did still not working so what's next ? Turn signals not work or turn indicators
If you learn how to use a continuity meter and read the wiring diagram, you can know before purchase and teardown of the column. It is not that hard. Power goes into one wire and comes out 2 wires for the on positions of the switch. Someone here with a diagram can tell you what wires come from the switch leading to the lamps.
But certainly check for power going in first.

Do the parking lights work at the front and back when the light switch is pulled out to the first detent?
When you put the signal light on (right or left) do you get a solid green indicator on the dash?

Seriously???
If you don't know how to pull the light switch out to test the front/ rear running lights and side lights, how will you manage to test voltage from.the column? Maybe you should take this to a shop or have a friend who knows what we're saying do the tests.
