Turn signal bulbs and hazard bulbs are the same bulb. When the turn signal is turned on, the indicator light on the dash flashes in tune with the turn signal. When the hazard lights are turned on, an extra fuse which is live, powers the hazard flashers, even if the car is turned off.

Why don't your turn signals work when your hazard button broke?
In nearly every case the actual turn signal wires run from the bulbs in the turn-signal housings directly to the hazard switch. This is done to allow the hazard system access to the turn signal bulbs without having to run an additional set of wires out to each bulb just for the hazard system. To make this design work the primary turn signal system feeds the outputs it wants to send to the bulbs, located out in the turn signal housings, into the hazard switch itself. So the hazard switch is actually a multi-pole double throw switch that connects the actual turn signal wires from the bulbs to either the hazard circuit or to the turn signal circuit depending on the position of the switch control button/knob. So if you cannot operate the hazard switch because the knob broke off then it is likely stuck in hazard mode or somewhere in between and it cannot connect the bulbs wires to the turn signal system while in this state.

Assuming you have checked all of the bulbs, sockets and wiring, the signal flasher could be weak or the signal switch is bad.
Why would the turn signals and hazard flashers on a 2001 Lumina all fail at the same time?
Because the hazard/turn signal relay has failed. A defective/intermittent turn signal switch can also cause this symptom.

Change the turn signal flasher relay.
Why does the blinker not blink 94 ford explorer?
Check to see if any of your front or back turn signal bulbs are not working. It's either a bad bulb or the turn signal/ hazard flasher relay in your fuse box.
Why are the brake lights on a 96 ElDorado not working if the fuses and bulbs are good but the hazard lights are bad?
It needs checked out but both the hazard and brake lights go through the turn signal switch.
What would cause both turn signal and your hazard light to stop working at the same time on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche?
Probably the turn signal/hazard flasher went bad. On some vehicles they are separate units, but on some vehicles they are the same unit.

It could be the turn signal bulbs, some vehicles use separate bulbs for the hazard and turn signals. It could also be a bad switch or wires for the turn signals.
