Just to put an end to this thread, the turn signals work now. I replaced
the hazard switch and like magic the turn signals started working again.
Added bonus, the hazard light work now too! ( They never did since I have
owned this car over a year now) I guess the switch was somewhat broken
from the start. Just not broken enough to stop the turn signals. Woohoo!
