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.
