Did you check the bulbs? Just because you doubt it doesn't mean that that isn't the problem.

I had the same problem just last night! After a bunch of messin around i checked the plug that relays to the trailer lights (or directly to itself) which is located under the plastic panels in the very back on the drivers side...and the plug was melted so i just bypassed the two wires and now they all work...hope that helps

I had the same problem two days ago. check the fuse panel. my wire was cracked on the back of the fuse panel to the "stop" fuse. replaced it and problem solved.

my e-flasher switch has a short and if bumped, wil cause turn signals to go out. a quick jiggle and all is good.
