If fuses OK, it is easy for people to get the wiring on the hazard switch mixed up.
Do you have a wiring diagram??

The above link is great, and I also really like the clarity and legibility of Bradley Artigue's wiring diagrams, available for free from his web site.

Did you solve this issue? Our car had no hazzard switch as it is a common source of failure.

There is a wiring bypass which can be employed. However I've recently found NOS hazzard switches on Ebay as our vendors appear to be having trouble getting them and we're going to wire ours back in...in fact we've just about had every wire out of the car undoing years of haphazzard tinkering and getting back to base wiring, which actually works quite well once understood properly.

Of course we've done the Brown wire and lighting relay fixes since putting it all back to stock....it was an undertaking but the end result of reliable lights and starting was WELL worth the effort.

Kind of resolved, signals work when hazard switch off. Hazard switch on, no signals or flashing or anything.
