I am VERY inclined to agree with Seth's analysis as no other answer comes to
mind.
Later, JR

John - The turn signal filaments are fed from the steering column. The
turn signal switch interrupts the feed from the brake light power and feeds
it's own voltage as interpreted by the flasher. So if the lights work as brake
lights, but not as turn indicators, the problem is either inside or ahead
of the steering column turn switch. I was trying to think of a component
inside the passenger compartment more fragile and easier to contaminate than
the turn signal switch - and I couldn't come up with one. I'll bet that
will take some cleaning out as well.
