86 190E 2.3 / blinkers don't work

Hello everyone. I am having many small problems with my 190E I just bought. First, has anyone experienced a problem with blinkers? I think I ran out of blinker fluid. Jk'n. I have checked the fuses and the relay seems fine. The hazards work fine as well. I cannot seem to find the problem. Any ideas?

A common problem for the blinkers not work is the hazard switch. Sometimes it freezes up or if its disconnected slightly, the blinkers wont work. But as you said, your hazards, fuses, and relay are all fine. So im thinking that your blinker switch is bad. Also, are both blinker bulbs good?

Hazard Switch

Thanks for you response. The hazard switch is disconnected as it is broken and stays on. The actual button is chipped. So this will possibly work if I get and plug in a new hazard switch? I will give it a try. Thanks.

Interesting, my blinker running lights always work, left and right when the light are on. The left turnsignals, front and rear always work, but the right signal in the front sometimes flashes, and sometimes doesn't. It's a 2 filament bulb right? Maybe one of the filaments isn't making constant contact together?
