Default Turn signal puzzle

My turn signals are dead. The fuses are new(hazards work), put in a new relay but don't think that is the problem since the hazards work, the signal switch/stalk on the column seems to be working because the rear light(left or right) will stay on with the ignition off(euro safety feature). It's looking like there isn't power to the signals when the ignition is turned on. Which wire(s) would that be that sends power to the signals when the ignition is on? Thanks for looking.

I thought I had no signals once. It turns out I had just used my hazards, and even though they were "off," the switch for the hazzards wasn't ALL the way in the off position, and the blinkers didn't work because of it. Try pushing your hazard switch off a little harder, it might do the trick.

I'll check on the hazard light switch tomorrow. I never thought about that. Also I was just thinking...my reverse lights, AC blower fan and foglights are dead and I believe they are all activated when the ignition is in the on position. I already put in a new switch due to an intermittent starting issue( but the switch wasn't the problem) but it sounds like something isn't right with the ignition i.e. no power being sent to operate these accessories. My wipers, locks and windows work but may be on a different circuit. Any ideas? Thanks.

Default Turn signal, reverse lights...

HI!
I had that problem. All those circuits are tied to the same fuse, and
the problem in my case was a sloppy alarm instalation (PO). Some
electrical tape solved the problem. Email me if you need the schematics
(944, 924S).
