Default Turn signal problem

85 4k. Just replaced the gas gauge in that car a day or so ago, and was gonna drive it today. Turned car on, and tried turn signals, the light just illuminates on the dash and stays on, and none of the turn signal lights work. The hazards DO work, and all lights function then. The hazard relay is a "hand me down" that I took off my 4kq due to the blinker being really fast when cold. Is this thing the culprit? I think "no", because it works when the hazards are working, but it may be the cause?
Any ideas?

Default Blinker relay, had the same problem last year.

Lights on almost permanently when cold, started to blink when warmer. Weird issue, but in my case replacing the relay took care of it.

Pretty sure that the hazard relay is separate from the turn signals =)

Default You sure? I had the turns relay fail on the 5kq, flashers also stopped working.

Replaced the relay, both started working again.

Default Why would my flashers still work, but turn signals not...

Blah, I just gotta get to the attic and find a spare relay, no big deal.

Check the connections back by the left rear signal/tail lights. Make sure there isn't a loose connection back there.
