Most common cause is the turn signal switch assembly in the steering column. Check your brake lights too, as they may not work either if the switch goes south.
I got by a few times by disassembling the switch plates, cleaning the contacts really good, putting dielectric grease on the contacts.
Also, a very little piece of tie-wire wrapped around the tabs that hold the switch assembly together. The tabs wear and the plates spread apart too much to have contact. (it is a little tricky, and you usually get one shot at this without ruining it).

Where would the switch be located in the steering column?
