If the emergency flashers work then the flasher 
relay is good.  It probably has 21 painted on it 
and is in bottom right position of the relay 
panel.  If the four-ways work vigorously 
exercising the four-way switch a few dozen times 
may bring the contacts back to life.  If the 
four-ways don't work pull and replace the flasher 
to make sure it's making good contact, and try another flasher.
