My column bushing is bad at the dash, so I guess my column wasn't a good ground path anymore. Of course, mine resulted in a blown indicator bulb in signal unit & a smoking wire. I ran an extra ground added fuse & everything is OK now.

See if you have current from the flasher to the switch. If so see if you have current going to the respective lights. You also should have current to the switch from the stop lights when you press on the brake. The switch does not have to be grounded except for the pilot light in the switch.
