Front blinkers not working?

My front blinkers of my T-Bird do not blink but the back works fine. Also my car has side markers on the fender and those do turn on what could be the problem?

Well the bulbs are good tested some other ones and I checked to see if i was getting a flashing signal with a test light and I am. So what else could be the problem? Also my pass side marker light starts flashing after a couple of secs when the turn signal is activated. The park lights work fine and my driver side marker light does not flash and no the puppiesections are not mixed up.

If you're getting a flashing signal but the lights aren't coming on you pretty much have three possibilities: Bulbs, sockets, or grounds. You've already eliminated bulbs, and sockets are easy to check (just look inside 'em, or better yet, probe inside 'em with test light). The grounds for the light harness are on the top of the rad support (one at each end).

When I checked to see if I had a flashing signal was inside the socket on the connector and the connections look good. Also my sockets have like alot of electrical grease or something inside can that cause a problem? Will look into the grounds next.

The grease shouldn't cause a problem - if anything it would cause the fuse to blow, which would result in no flashing signal.
