Have you tried the hazard lights?
It'll at least eliminate the flasher and the fuse, and I've heard that
sometimes it's just a dirty, or faulty hazard switch that makes it not
work. I think the flasher is connected to the hazard switch. If it
doesn't work, click it a few more times, and maybe spray some contact
cleaner in there. I'm not sure if you can pull apart the hazard switch
like the window switches and clean it out, or not. If the hazards do
work then maybe the turn signal switch needs cleaning. My Wives Volvo's
turn signals stop working every few years, yet a quick remove, spray,
click it back and forth, and reinstall works every time.

When I turn the signal on, either left or right (the only two options) I get nothing. No interior turn signal indicator, no intermittent click, no light on in the front or rear.

I had searched the board for location of the flasher unit and it sounds like it is near the steering column. I have looked somewhat in that general direction but have found nothing giving a very cursory look.
