Drop the knee bolster panel and turn on your hazards, listen for the clicking. Once you locate the flasher module pull it and swap it with a similar looking module thats located across the steering column from it.

It'll look something like this:


Its thermal and they go bad after years of use. Should only be a few bucks at the auto parts store.

Yea no problem bro, hope that helps. BTW, if the clicking bothers you you can switch to an electronic flasher.

Its likely that you have the wrong flasher. What model did you put in?

The flashers are different models unless you go electric. The one on the left is the hazards. You need to change the right one, which is the turns.

Another thing to remember is that the problem may not be a flasher (usually isn't). It is possible that a bulb is out somewhere but the hazards still work.

Turn on the hazards and walk around the car. Look for a bulb that isn't flashing but should be. Check that bulb and socket.

I would have to say that it is most likely the flasher in this case since OP stated both sides are out. If they both went out at the same time, then its most likely flasher. If it is just one side, then I would agree that a bulb is out somewhere on that side.
If it is the socket, those can be replaced easily withOUT splicing, just get replacement sockets from autozone or oreilys, did my DRLs years ago.

Bringing back up. In my 1997 SS, my hazards work (very slowly) while the car is running. They will continue to work if I kill the car with the hazards on. However, if the car is off and I turn the hazards on, nothing. I will look to replace the part above (though I am in Germany) and see if that helps. Damn thing failed TUV inspection for this one simple thing.
