Question turn signal doesnt work - relay clicks, hazards fine ??

My 2001 turn signals arent working and i wanna get it sorted ASAP. Had the whole switch assembley out today - cleaned, brushed and put back.

The blue relay clicks when i turn left or right, but nothing happens. Sometimes it will flash for a second but mostly nothing -

hazards work perfect, wipers work (not sure if related).. I pulled and pushed on a few relays and fuses -

what can i do? system charges well and truck/motor in good shape, only 130k -

any ideas where to go next?

Replace the realy. On the 01, its serves double duty. It does both the turn signals, and the hazards.

Yep. Separate circuits internal to the relay. The more complicated it gets, the more potential failure modes. They are dirt cheap, just replace it, and see what happens. Everything else appears to be working as it should.
