By the pedals, on the right hand side, you'll see a white plastic board with lots of black relays on it. The flasher unit is the circular thing that you can pull out.

If it's not the flasher unit (easy to check), then Logik's on the money. Indicators not flashing is usually the first visible sign that you have an alternator or battery problem.

it happend to a starion i was driving.. foolish of me not to check all the indicators.. as the front right globe had blown.. you may simply have a blown globe as in a starion, the sign the car gives you is the indicator stays on.. whereas in most new cars, the side which has a blown indicator globe flashes a lot faster then the side without the blown globe :)
