Hazard Relay or Switch?

Hazard Relay or Switch?
So yesterday on my drive to New Jersey my turning signals just kind of stopped working properly. They would flash once or twice and not flash anymore and stay off even though the switch was still engaged. Happens to both sides. Sometimes they will flash a few times, sometimes not at all, it's pretty random to be honest. I checked my hazards and my hazards still work fine. I asked a few people and they said it was my hazard relay and I'm curious if there is a way that I could check whether that's the culprit or not?

I second that. The turn signals and the hazards are each run off separate relays inside the hazard switch. Since you use the turn signals a lot and the hazards rarely the turn signal relay wears out. Mine failed with exactly the symptoms you report. My failure analysis is after many thousands of impacts the contact came loose and started arcing just enough to create some carbon which gummed up the contact. Buy a new hazard switch. If you have the tools to get the radio out the job is quick and easy.
