Default turn signal light messed up

For the past couple weeks I've noticed that when I signal to turn right, my hazard lights turn on. Although this was on and off, now it's everytime I turn the signal to the right.

I was wondering if this was just a simple signal light assembly replacement?

thanks in advance.

I have a 2002 Dodge Durango SXT.

I love writing long posts that give errors, i'll try again. Does your turn signals feel sloppy? iv'e never heard of that specific issue with hazzards, mostly headlight issues but it sucks that you've got to toss up $100 on a 50/50. I cant really give youa positive answer on that circuit but maybe someone else can help you better. I had a headlight issue and got stuck with a new multifunction switch due to a no return electrical dealership so if a 99 D's multifunction switch will work on your D i'll glady cut you a deal on a new unit that sits inmy basement

I had this problem about 8 months ago. the problem was the combo flasher. Turn the key and apply the left turn signal and find out were the combo flasher is and replace it.

How much did it cost to replace it? I'll check tomorrow morning when I get back from work (I'm an ER nurse working night shifts).

I have a flasher I would be willing to sell. I bought it when mine went bad only to find that whoever installed the aftermarket alarm routed a regular $2 flasher in. I got it for $45 from a dealer in NY and couldn't return it. Make me a reasonable offer and it's yours.
