Default Turn signals wont work, Help!

Ok heres the deal.
-The 2 front turn signal symbols on the dash stay lit up instead of flash when I actuate the turn signal.
-The rear turn signals illuminate but do not flash
-The front turn signals do NOT illuminate at all, but i know the bulbs work because when i use the wireless remote to unlock the car my front 2 turn signals light up.
-My front hazards do not illuminate/flash at all, but the rears illuminate and flash.


I think it may be the flasher that needs to be replaced but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same problem with mine when i bought it. It was the turn signal flasher. Its located under the dash by the steering column, there's 2 of them under there just make sure you change the right one.

yes, there are 2 flashers in the area above the plastic interior trim piece by the column. one flasher controls the hazards and the other controls the turn signals. dont remember which one is which though. you could just try them both until the turn signals work. should be the same part#
