ok there is one multi function switch that controls those so you should check that out. the switch is behind the steering column cover so you will have to remove it. before you replace it you can just check the output to the siganls with a fluke. i hope that helps.

sounds more like a turn signal relay(flasher) than the switch itself.

The hazards do not use the same unit as the turn signals.  They are two separate relays.  The hazard relay is behind the fuse block and the turn signal relay is behind the center of the dash on a support bracket.
