Check your flasher, it's probably bad.

When you say the turn signals don't flicker they just stay on are you talking about the indicator lights on the switch or the actual marker light?

If I remeber this correctly:
The indicator light will stay on constantly when one of the marker light bulbs are burned out.

The indicator light will not light when the flasher is bad.

If I have this backwards someone please correct me, thanks.

Light and directional problems are usually solved with a little patience and investigation. Are your tail light housings grounded properly to the frame. Is the flasher unit working properly ? If you have a 6 volt truck, are you sure the flasher is 6 volt and not 12 ? Check around and let us know what you find..
