The bulbs are good, the fuses are good, and I replaced the flasher relay, however; the problem persists. When I activate the turn signal, the icon does not show and there is no ticking sound. Any advice?

Try this: press the hazard switch several times then try the turn signals again. Usually the turn signal/multi-function switch goes bad and needs replacement. Over the years dirt and grime, dash cleaner etc. Find their way down in through the hazard switch cavity and cause a bad contact situation, along with normal wear and cause the switch to fail. Let us know what you find!

I appreciate the response! I replaced the multifunction switch with a new one, still no luck.

Do you have power at fuse #f1.34? this is what powers the flasher. here is a blinker wiring diagram so you can see how it works and a guide to help you check for power at the fuse with the fuse location as well:
