No turnsignals or hazards!!!!
I have a 2000 Ram Van 3500 and yesterday my turn signals and hazard lights quit working.My highbeam portion of the multifunction switch still works as well as the windshield wiper controls.This is leading me to believe that I have a bad flasher relay.Which one do I replace?I've looked in the fuse panel in the left side of my dash board,but it is not very clearly labeled as to which one actually is the flasher relay.Could you provide me ,PLEASE,with some type of part#,description,and/or location in the fuse panel?I'll help everyone with all the advice that I can if I can just get this one answer!!!!!Thanks!

RE: No turnsignals or hazards!!!!
There's two places to look. One is at the left side of the dash facing the drivers door and the other location is a black box next to the battery.
Inside either of those the flasher and hazard relays are located. The box under the hood next to the battery is properly labeled with the sticker under the cover.
Since both relays could be bad, both need to be replaced. However, to have both go out at the same time, makes the problem interesting to look at fuese or wires.

The flasher is in the panel next to the driver's door and is larger than the relays that are there. If the original one is still in there, they typically were blue from the factory.

This is what the inside cover looks like for a 2000 Ram Van/Wagon from the black box next to the battery under the little hood.
Looking at the photo, the only item for the lights is the 20AMP stop lamps. So, Alloro is right for you to look on the left driver's side of the for the flasher relay.

RE: No turnsignals or hazards!!!!
I had the same problem. its the turnsignal switch itself. The hazard button is the cause, everything runs through it.Once it's loose the contacts are as well. I'll bet the only brake light you have is the third one, if the bulb is good. You can find them online,Ithink it was JunkYardDog.com, about 70 bucks. You'll need"L" shaped torx drivers to get it apart. Good luck
