It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. However, my front turn signals are still not working. They were not working before I did this either, so I don't think this was relay related. Can you tell me the best way to troubleshoot the front turn signals? Or should I start a new thread?

I wouldn't start a new thread. Readers won't know what has already been done.
Do any of the signals work? Did your mechanic check the fuses? If they are original aluminum the contacts could be corroded. How about the bulbs in the front signals.

 Okay - I may have been a bit too quick on that. Turns out (no pun intended) that the passenger side front signal wasn't working but the drivers' side was - I took the bulb out of the passenger side, it looked good, I put it back and voila - this morning it worked. Now the driver side front turn signal, which was working yesterday, was NOT working this morning, but I suspect that bulb is now out (funny how that just happens when I am trying to troubleshoot) because the flash on that side is quick, and the rear signal is working. And now I have a new problem that needs a new thread.... the fun never ends, does it?

It NEVER HURTS to clean up the sockets/bulb bases with a small pencil/ink-pen eraser and a bit of elbow grease, then when all things dull have become shiney again, find some bulb-grease (anti-corrosion goop) and lightly apply the gook to the base of the bulb (don't get any on the glass) and with a Q-Tip (or similiar item), apply a light coating to the socket, paying close attention to the two deely-boppers in the base of the socket. Once the deed has been completed (and before you put the lense back on), try the signal to be sure it's doing the deed it was intended to do.
If so, re-attached the lense and then torture the other socket. Since you're in the kind of the mode that just begs for more abuse, it wouldn't hurt for you to go around the 107 and check all the sockets (side markers if you have 'em) and taillights and give all that glows a once-over...again, checking their operation before re-attached/inserting the assemblies back to operational status. Then... Get out there and drive the heck out of it!

I just want to caution that the module is a little bit complicated, and can't just be swapped out with a random relay, it (unfortunateley) has to be purchased specifically.  Scott Sorry I'm late with this, March was a bit of an 'off' month for me. Although I don't need a flashlight when I get up to take a leak in the night.
