Default 96 Ram Turn Signal & Back Up Light

Having issues with my turn signals and back up lights working speraticly. Sometimes they work fine, sometimes they dont work at all. My truck has been a money pit this month and dont want to start experimenting with buying random parts.

** The emergency flashers not work either. The previous owner had the driver side window motor go out and I think it got rained on. Might try some WD on the emergency switch
Any suggestions?

If your truck has a trailer harness on it, where it splices in is the first place to start looking.

The bulbs are good, right?

So I was going to lunch and decided to check the flashers. I removed the hazard light flasher and the blinkers started working. Then I tried the hazard flasher in the tur signals and it worked there fine as well. So now the flashers working again but the hazards not coming on. Scratching my head again

Yes I put the flashers back in and turn signal working fine again. Just no hazards.. kind of odd.
