Just found out today my hazard lights don't work. Turn signals work, the fuse is not blown, and according to the manual, the relay should still be good because the turn signals are on the same relay. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason

to get mine to work i have to pull it up about half way then jiggle it untill it sticks
 






as i recall, the hazard lights are not on the same circuit as the turn signals... check all the fuses and the relays..... i say this becuase i have a 85 toyota (i know diff, but its electrical) well my turn signals blink teice as fast as they are supposed to becuase i have no front lights.... but the hazard lights blink at the normal rate.....
 






The turns and hazzards definately use the same flasher.
 






I had this problem with my 92, and I found out that my brake lights were not working also, check the brake light fuse.
 






Got it to work! Thanks guys!

Well, I took off the steering column shroud to look for bad wires/switch, everything looked great, so I tried the “jiggle” technique. That’s all it took; a little forceful moving around with the switch in the up/on position, and it works every time now.

Well, that was the cheapest fix on the SUV so far! ;)
Thanks all,
Jason
