perhaps you not getting the amount of current needed to activate the flasher fast enough,or your flasher is located in a place where it gets too cold, you may try changing the flasher or insulating it.'''here's how a flasher works.'''

the flasher contains a bi-metal strip and a heating element. when the heating element warms up the bi-metal strip bends making contact, and allowing current to go thru.as the current goes thru the heating element cools down and breaks the circuit that's how you get the blinking effect.'''(all happens repeadedly in milliseconds)

If the signal lights are not working on a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34 and no flasher or signal light indicator on the dash would this be because of a burned out bulb or would the flasher need replacement?

Before replacing the flasher you should check the fuses inside the car and in the engine compartment including fuseable links, then check for voltage in the flasher connector with the switch on, it may be that your switch is the problem. Newer cars use lighting control modules which would be the next place to check.
