1986 Toyota Camry Turn-Signal/Flasher Problem

I have a 1986 Toyota Camry with a Turn-Signal/Flasher Issue. The Rear
Turn-Signals/Flashers work fine, but the Front Turn-Signals/Flashers do
not flash at all. The two bulbs in both the front-left and front-right
corner lights operate fine when the parking/head-lights are on, but
they do not flash at all whether on or off, while the rear lights flash
just fine for both Turn-Signal and Flasher operations. The odd thing is
that the Hayes Camry Repair Manual says that the Left-Side operates
together and the Right-Side operates together and is independent of
each other and that there is no relation between Front and Rear. So can
someone help me with this mystery problem?
Thanks in advance.

What does the wiring diagram in the back of the manual show?

That helps explain the difficulty you're having.

I'm having a hard time following this..... but....

Aren't your only functional front turn signals mounted in the bumper?
The light housings to the outside of the headlights should be marker
lights, probably one or two 194 bulbs in each. The lenses are probably
half yellow and half clear. I really don't care enough to pay
attention to stuff like that normally, but that's how I remember them.

MDT in MO's suggestion is seconded here. Check the condition of your
turn signal bulbs. Even if the markers are lighting (AND they serve as turn
signals, too--which I question), they have a separate filament for turn
signals, don't they?
Good luck & hope it's simple, like needing 2 front bulbs! s
