1991 pickup no turn signals or flashers

Okay so I have a 90 Toyota pickup and I don't have a y turn signals or flashers when I turn the flasher on the relay activates but no lights when I turn the turnsignals switch the relay makes no noise and I have checked the fuse

Now my thought was that even if there is no lights hooked up shouldn't the dash light come on and if you do have a light or two hooked up they should atleast illuminate. Any help would be great.

Thanks

To answer one of your questions, pretty sure at least one light has to work in order for the dash light to work, because they are in the same circuit.

The dash lights will work regardless of how many exterior lights you have hooked up. Have you checked wiring and fuses both under hood AND under dash?

yes I have the fuses that light when blown and I was wondering where is the relay for the turn signals I can't find them in the chilton book so then a thought would be the switches or I am not getting power to the switch

yeah thanks to all that responded but apperently the flasher relay has to work for it to flash went to a junk yard and pulled one out of a 1991 and put in my and walla it worked. the on that i found that i said was working was the silver one on the fuse panel and would click when i turned on the hazzards so i assumed that was the flasher relay and i was wrong so thanks again and i have turn signals. and flashers.

You do realize the last post was 13 years ago?

Did you check the fuse for them?
If that's good and they still no worky, check the grounds behind the light unit. The whole thing will pull off, and the ground's behind it. They can get corroded pretty easy. Make sure they're clean, bare metal to clean, bare metal.

Worth a look. I'd check the fuse first, though.
