when you manually do it, do all of the lights that are supposed to light up, actually light up? I know that a burnt out bulb or a bad connection can cause the flasher not to flash, but with your dash lights being out you may have more problems. How do your fuses look?

my friend had a camaro that had that problem, i spent about an hour tracing wires and replacing flasher box's checking every single bulb, but whatever id id, they did not flash on their own. he had to manually go up and down. never did figure it out... he has since totalled that pos :P

As far as guessing at stuff... Do as 73 Delta said... check the bulbs, and check connections. As far as dash lights... they 'might' be blown... my 83 delta blew its right side speedo light *lights up 55-85 points* replaced it, blew it again 5 months later... said screw it been like that for 2 years... but both would be hard. easiest way to check without ripping the dash apart.... ashtray light, you mentioned that went out. If that bulb is good, then you know you got another problem, if it is blown, then more then likely the speedo ones are blown *weird that both speedo ones went out at once* but hey, sh*t can happen.

Let us know how it turns out and and anything you find for future reference.
