OK, now I've checked the emergency flashers, and they don't flash either.
Same result, just continuous lights and LED on the dash.

I looked in my Bentley to see why Neil was making fun of me (other than the
obvious), and I find only the emergency flasher listed.  Is there only one
for both the signals and emergency flashers?  Also, it seems to be a relay
plugged into a board.  How would I do the push/pull on the wires as you
suggest?  Looks like I'm just getting into this...

I had a similar problem with my '85 a year ago.  It turned out that
unplugging the wires from the relay socket, and pushing the connectors
back on, was the cure.  Obviously a little corrosion there though none
could be seen.  Reseating the relay itself made no change.
