Turn Signals Randomly Stopped Working, Hazards Still Work
So earlier today, I went for a long drive that was probably 70 miles round trip. My turn signals worked the entire time. My right turn signal has always been iffy and only works have the time but my left turn signal works perfectly 100% of the time. When I came home, I parked the car for an hour and went for another drive. I'm guessing as soon as I turned on the car my turn signals stopped working because by time I got to a point to use them, even the left turn signal didn't work. I don't even hear the flasher making noise. I replaced the flasher almost a year ago to try and see if that would help the right turn signal work but it made no difference.
The thing is, my Hazards still work perfectly. Does anyone know what could cause this problem? Could the flasher have gone bad after less than a year?

Re: Turn Signals Randomly Stopped Working, Hazards Still Work
This morning I replaced the Turn BU fuse. It didn't look blown, but we all know fuses can be deceiving. So I replaced it and sure enough my left blinker works perfectly. However, my right blinker is now not working at all rather than 50% of the time. Any ideas? All of the lights for both blinkers come on when the hazards but only the left blinker works.

That problem is consistent with a bad connection or a stalk which is starting to fail.
With the key in RUN, turn signal stalk in the right turn position, use a test light to probe the dark blue wire out of the turn signal switch.
Is there power there?
If not, replace the switch.
If there is power there, make sure it gets in and out of the connector located near the lower right of the steering column.
Then make sure power gets in and out of the large connector located near the left front of the dash below the relay bracket.
From there it goes to the lamps on the front of the car.
Therefore wiggle the above connections and observe if the status changes when doing so.
