The above sounds like it could be one of two things, A bad flasher or a short in the electrical system which is probably why the windows/lock quit.

Swap the four way flasher with the turn flasher and see if that solves the signal issue.

As for the jam wires, The wire strands can break inside the insulation. Physically looking at them they can appear to be good but actually have a open circuit, Test for power at the fuse panel going to the door and ground from the door to the body/frame. If you have power at the panel and none in the door disconnect the battery and test each wire with a multimeter set on ohm's scale from the door/lock switch to the fuse panel and door switches on the right side.

It's easier done than said but hopefully you get the idea.....
