Check for corrosion in the bulb sockets, if it has a trailer plug open the plug up and make sure the wires havent come out of the sockets and are shorting out.

i checked the bulbs there fine i didnt think of the trailer plug but i will check that in the morning thanks

Sounds like the actual blinker stalk is the problem to me.
