Latest Problem: No Blinkers/Indicators
I leave work and walk up to my car, press unlock, and hear "beep beep" but don't see the flashing lights.
I think...ok
?
Get in the car, drive home and press down the blinker....nothing. No arrows, no sound, no blinking, and I looked in the reflection of the car in front of me to confirm.
Come home, try lock and unlock again, and have the same issue - car does everything fine but there is no light flashing with the unlock.
Thoughts?

hmm i guess u can use a voltmeter to both sides of the signal wires one by one to see if there is any flow when activated.

Fuses - check the fuse panel

Turn signals will still work if the hazard button is unplugged. Confirmed this today.

Don't have an aftermarket alarm but recently had the side mirror blinkers/LED puddle light installed and I'm wondering if something may have gone bad?

very small possibility that the little extra load of the mirrors could have snapped a fuse.

try the fuse... if not, then the turn signal relay.
do you hear the relay clicking?

Check your connections + As others said, could have shorted a fuse or caused the relay to go out.

Also, you may want to check your blinker fluid level.
