I have a 1997 Chevy Blazer. My blinkers just stopped working the other day. When I turn on my blinkers nothing shows up on the dash and the blinkers themselves do not work. But when I press my hazards, it shows up on the dash and the lights on the outside work. My fuses aren't burnt out in the fuse box either. What do I do??? I need to get it inspected soon. I am afraid that if I take it in to get looked at that I am going to get screwed over!!!
Try replacing the Flasher first before spending to much money for a possible simple fix. If it's not your flasher then it could be the turn signal leaver.
Ok, this may seem stupid, but that's what they did to the blazer. They set the flasher near the middle and under the center console behind the radio.
It's to the left of the radio right behind the dash. The hazard flasher and the turn signal flasher are side by side. It right next to the Cig lighter behind the panel. They do mark the turn signal from the hazard flasher on the plastic behind them. Turn is on the right.
Good luck and hope this helps.
Flashers are behind the panel to the left of the cigarette lighter as i mentioned . You need a Torx 25 screwdriver and another screwdriver for those hex shaped screws, forgot the size.
First unscrew the 2 Torx 25 screws beneath the steering wheel. Then unscrew the rest of those Hex screws on the bottom. The panels overlap, so be prepared for a lot of unscrewing. You do need to unscrew the middle black panel on the bottom, right beneath the cig lighter.
It's held by two Hex shaped screws, one on each side and are hard to unscrew. Also you need to remove your spare change sliding tray to unscrew the last hex looking screw.
Once you pop your panel off, the turn signal flasher is the right one. The Hazard flasher is the left one. You can find a replacement part at Auto zone, and DON'T get the $184 Flasher switch, all you need is the signal flasher. It's shaped like a cylinder with TWO prongs on it.
The Flashers should be under $10.00. Good luck and hope this helps.

It sounds like your hazzard switch is bad, very common problem with these. It is part of the multi-function switch. New gm pt#26100985 about $480. Check after market also! Good Luck!
