It could still be the hazard switch, even though the hazard function is ok.
The switch selects between contact groups -- one group sets up the turn
signals, the other group is the hazard. The switch isn't really an on-off for
the hazard, but a selector between hazard function and turn signal function (at
least on my car). So you can definitely get a turn failure from the hazard
switch -- all those wires meet at the switch. Trace your wiring diagram to see
how it works (I like to use colored pencils on a copy to see how the power and
wires connect). Once you see it you can test the switch function with your
multimeter to see if it's switching what it's supposed to (unhook the battery
first or take out the switch!). Or you can always use the Oklahoma Shotgun
Technique.....replace the switch and any other likely suspect part at one time,
and the problem's fixed! Brutal but effective if you're not into the
troubleshooting lifestyle. Good luck!
