Q: Turn signal isnt working but hazards do

asked by on November 23, 2016

When I flip the turn signal switch it does not work on either side but when I turn the hazard lights on they do. I have checked the fuse and there is nothing wrong with that and I have replaced the switch itself and it is still having the same problem.

My car has 90000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
