They both use the same flasher. Best guess - bad ground (1st guess) - could also be faulty connection or bad hazard switch.
Here is a link to the wiring diagram - http://www.artigue.com/fiat/wiring/Wiring_1980_1982.pdf

second guess is a bad hazard switch. expensive to replace, but easy to swap in/out.

possibly a rebuild may do the trick:

As per the referenced wiring diagrams, Fuse 1 feeds the flasher through the hazard switch. This is a switched supply that only has power when the key is "on". When you trun the hazard switch "on" it should send unswitched power from F9 to the Hazard switch to the flasher. Is fuse 9 good?
