Normally if the bulbs don't light the flasher unit won't click, and one 
of the common failure modes is the other way round i.e. they light but 
don't flash and there is no clicking.  One click or clicking on and off 
as if the flashers should be working?

Do you have a non-standard flasher unit?  I'm assuming so if you have 
LED flasher 'bulbs' at the rear as the standard and even the modern 
3-wire units won't work with those without additional resistors.   Are 
the dash tell-tales lighting or flashing?  If you have a flasher unit 
capable of working with LED bulbs there are many types of those and they 
can cause all sorts of problems.

Your best bet is to bridge the green and light-green/brown wires at the 
flasher unit and see if the corners light then.  They won't flash but it 
will at least let you check the circuits out to the corners of the car 
and fix any faults with those.
