Default 98 Chev 1500 signal lights

Hey on my 98 Chev 1500 my signal lights aren't working like there suppose to... I hit the switch to make my turn and then it will turn the light on but will not flash..I need to manually.. I changed the relay for them and still the same thing. Does anyone have any ideal what could be wrong with it?
Hopefully this makes sense
Thanks in advance

You haven't done quite enough checking...

Check (ohms) each lamp (4) for continuity on both elements.
Should be "0" ohms
Check (ohms) continuity from the socket (4) cases to ground.
Should be "0" ohms
Turn your turn signals on (L then R) and verify voltage at each (F & R)socket.
Should be pulsing over 12vdc

Do your Emergency Flashers (all 4 corners) work ?
At what rate (pulses per minute) is your Flasher operating at ?
