Default No front signal lights

My rear signal lights work fine, but the fronts dont flash at all. I did a search and didn't find anything. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shawn

I checked all of the fuses, and put in new bulbs. I also checked a ground up front by the drivers side headlight. Is there a relay for the front signals that is separate form the back?

If the fuses, bulbs, or ground isn't it, check and see if something is shorting out. Just trace the wires as far as you can before they go up into the body and stuff and make sure there aren't any wires touching. When I first got my car my low beams wouldn't come on, so the high beams were on all the time. Needless to say thats a big problem. Anyway me and my dad troubleshot that thing to no end, finally we took it to a friend who is a mechanical genius, and lo and behold he found two wires with the insulation melted off that were shorting each other out just behind the right headlight. All that for somethin so simple. Check the wires as far as you can, if you find two wires that are rubbing up against each other, tape em' up and you're good to go.

Check along the wires from the dash area out to the harness near the lights. See if there is voltage anywhere. Hate to say it, but it almost sounds like the wires at the turn signal assembly. I don't think front and rear are separately fused.

Left and Right sides share a fuse, all blinkers share same relay.
