Same problem
My 98 hazards, turn signals and brake lights suddenly stopped working. I read solutions, and tried the WD 40 on the hazard button, Nothing. Whackamoled the button and as long as hazards are turned on, have turn signals and brake lights. But hazards no longer flash. Checked fuse under hood and it is good.
Any other suggestions?

OOPs, Dakota. But I just went back out, pulled the cover on the driver's side fuse panel, pulled out the big green square relay, replaced it firmly and now everything is working perfectly. I was sure pushing the hazard button down turned on the flashers, but now it seems to be the opposite - when the button is UP, the flashers work, when down, they are off. But anyway after being told it was a dead short in the dash and would take hours to diagnose, I am glad I came to this thread and started troubleshooting myself. (I had noticed an occasional click from that area while driving and while things weren't working and her it was loose and intermittently making contact)

Hazzard switch worked for me
After reading a ton of posts, I stumbled across a thread that showed the hazards switch can get stuck and cause all of the above issue. In the thread they recommended spraying the hazard switch with WD40 to make sure it wasn't stuck. Worked like a charm, I now have signals brake lights and reverse.
