So to start off i have an 89 ranger with a 93 4.0 out of a mazda navajo i usde complete wireing harrness comp headlight and dash my issue now is that my left or right front blinkers will light up if i go to turn but they dnt flash yes i have changed flasher more then once and yes blubs r good they flash when i turn hazzards on does anyone got any ideas on where else to check?

Here is a basic wiring diagram for turn signals and hazards
http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/EDiagrams/files/Diagram_turn_stop_hazard.JPG

The hazard circuit uses a different path in the multi-switch, so multi-switch could be the problem.
The brake lights also use a different path, by-passing the most of the multi-switch

First does the light for the turn signal in the dash come on but not flash?

Does the rear light come on and not flash?

Right now i dont have any rear lights i broke that connector so i got to get one today and yes the idicators will light up but they do not flash, leads me to think the multifunction switch that i have two and tried both same issue or flasher and that doesnt change anything either

Fix the rear lights/connector and they should start working.

The flasher needs the additional resistance from the rear lamps in order to flash.
What you have now is a normal operation/symptom when a rear lamp is burnt out.

Sweet ill see what i can do with that but ur 100% correct just pulled a bulb on buddies explorer i feel so stupid haha been tryin to get this working fo three days haha thanks man huge help ive been rippin my hair out cant belive i forgot about the tear lights being needed

Yes, all bulbs on each turn signal side must be connected, and good, for the circuit to work.

That is how you can tell when a bulb is burned out, signal stops flashing

Odd, I have had a rapid flashing on one side and normal on the other on one vehicle which has a light out. The other vehicle has all lights working with the same symptoms.
