The switches do give problems, especially if they are never used.
Does the switch press up and down cleanly ?, I suspect it doesn't, in which case if it stuck midway this could well explain the lack of indicators/hazzards.
Try to jiggle coax it up and down a few times, the ultimate permanent cure is take it apart and fill the contact area with beeswax.

sure you've got the right fuse?

iirc the reverse lights are on the same circuit and the wiring runs accross the top of the bell housing and rubs through on the back of the head, mine did anyways!

assuming it's a sierra yes?

if you unplug the reverse light plug (behind the head, big plug that shoudl have 8 pins but only 3 of them will be used) and they start working then it's that burnt out wire, leave it unpluged

alternativly, you may have unpluged the flasher relay, which is located behidn the instrument cluster behind the steering bulkhead, and when i saw tucked away, it really is tucked away
