Turn signals stopped working on both sides, however the hazard lights work
fine.
I replaced the flasher unit (there's only one), and still the same thing.
None of the turn signal lights are burnt out.

If I manually shift the turn signal arm up and down, up and down, the signal
lights work fine.

Any ideas?

Operator error.
Posting error.

Operator error: there are two flashers for virtually all cars. there
is usually a seperate fuse for the signals vs. emergency flashers.

Posting error: What model, year, maker is this car? None of us can
read minds!

Sorry for the confusion.
It is a 91 Chev Corsica.
If there are two flashers, where would I find the 2nd one?
The flasher I replaced is under the dash on the left of the steering column.
It is apparently for the hazard lights. It is on a board which also
contains a relay for the horn, and an 'audible' unit which beeps when you
don't fasten your seat belts. Where is the signal light flasher?

If you have an owners manual that may tell you (yes, I don't know the
exact location!) if not try calling the dealer's service department.
Often the service writer knows exactly where it is and will tell you.
If that fails, try a public library and look it up in a service manual
(most libraries have them) or do a web search!

I finally figured it out. Here's how to do it:

Remove the cover under the steering column, then remove the cover over the
pedals.

Looking at the steering column, three inches directly to the left is a
bracket mounted vertically. On the other side of the bracket is a
'convenience center'. You can see the convenience center better by using a
mirror. On the convenience center are three items: 1) A brown component
which has a speaker which beeps when you don't fasten your seatbelt. 2) A
white relay for your horn. 3) On top of the white relay is the hazard lights
flasher.

The signal light flasher is above the convenience center. Don't try looking
for it because you can't see it, even with a mirror. To get the signal
flasher out, look at the bracket located three inches to the left of the
steering column. One inch from the top of the bracket is a small square hole
about 3/8 inch square. Look closely and you'll see a clip is mounted in this
hole. This clip is holding the signal flasher, which is connected to two
wires. Wiggle this clip out of the hole with a screwdriver.

Once the clip is free, you should be able pull the two wires and the flasher
down and replace the flasher. Don't try to put the clip back into it's
original position - just tape it somewhere under the dash.
