Default Flasher Module/ turn signal (or lack there of)

a couple days ago, my turn signals started intermitantly cutting out while still turned on, waiting to turn. Today, they just don't work at all.

Searching the forums, most of the posts I could find (mostly on the A6 boards) talk about a faulty relay in the flasher module. My hazard lights work fine however. Are hazards and turn signals controlled by the same module? If so, does this mean I likely need to replace the turn signal stalk itself? Anyone else experience this?

Default hazard relay switch

it is attached to your hazard lights button (triangle in center console), so you need to pull out and replace the whole thing.

Default did that too, but...

still don't see anyone talking about turn signals not working, but hazards still working. Seems to me that would indicates it's not the hazard relay, but is it still possible that it is the problem as it seems to fairly common?

No... The hazard relay is also the relay for the turn signals. Exact symptons. NEXT!
