location of turn signal flasher

[cjm217]

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. My turn signals do not work, the hazard warning lights do work. I was wondering whether there is a separate turn signal flasher or if the flasher is part of the hazard warning light switch. If there is a turn signal flasher where is it located, I can't seem to find it.

Had this problem with my daughter's 2001 Alero also, The Hazard Flashing switch fixed both problems. Hope this helps

how do you access it? so there is only one flasher relay? a local dealer thought there was one for signals and one for hazards.
