Generally the signals on the dash will remain lit if a bulb is burnt out.

Hold it.....

If the hazards light the bulbs correctly but the turn signals remain solid, (on one side or both) then the problem is 100% definitely the turn signal flasher. (The hazards and turn signals use the same bulb filaments but different flasher modules.)
