Do what I said in first reply then check to seeif your headlight switch is sending power to them for blinkers see if t/s switch is sending power through it. Otherwise have a pro look at it

Like ai said have apro do it or someone who has experience with wiring circuits and what to do. Maybe if you have an auto shop class to take it to. You need a volt meter or test light to find problems and we can't walk you through it.
