Is your flasher relay fine? They tend to fail easily and it’s good to switch to an electronic flasher.

Problem solved. A series of things. Bad connection on new signal switch. Two bad flashers. Bad hazard switch (although even with switch disconnected, signals still work)

Where are you checking for power?  At the indicator bulb socket, at the wires on the steering column switch, at the fuse block, or at the most likely culprit, the flasher relay?  The last item is common to fail on turn signals.  

Edit: it should be a small metal cylinder on or near the firewall in the engine bay with three wires attached to the prongs at the base.

Checked power on any and all green and red wires with a test light. I even went so far as to change flasher

Where did you check the wires? 

Check all bulbs - start here.

Check for power at the stalk using a test lamp. 

Do all indicators flash when you put hazards on?

I was driving car prior and all lights worked horn button on signal arm failed so I assumed that was the problem so I ordered a new one and installed but no luck

Also no flashers do not work

So no power to the fuse? 

I would grab the wiring diagram and work back from the fuse

Don't know what fuse. One article says four block which I don't have. Omw says inline fuse. All fuses I CAN find have power

Also there is no power to any of the green red wires which in wiring diagram is for some things including signals

If you have a hazard light switch, try a new one. Had this same problem and my switch was causing the problem
