Turn signal not working - hazards neither!

98 Pathfinder - This past weekend all of a sudden the turn signals have stopped working. The hazards don't either. Everything else works.

-Checked all fuses, under hood and in cab, all are fine.
-keyless entry lock operation makes all signals flash (so bulbs and wiring to lights is fine)
-noticed that the harzard switch seems to affect the ability to use the turn signals, i.e. I remove the switch and no longer hear the "click" when I turn on a signal), but I put it back and there is an audible "click" when I switch a signal on, but not the usual repetitive "ticking" that goes with the signal.

So my intuitive guess is that the hazard signal/switch is defective and causing the signals not to work? But I don't have a wiring diagram and it's only my guess.

Thanks for any help!
Marc.

You may be right!!! You have to change the hazard/turn signal switch which should be located under the steering wheel column. The same thing happen on my 97 Pathfinder. You can find a new one at a local Pep Boys or Autozone. Very inexpensive and pretty simple to replace.
