Changed all bulbs, checked the flasher combo. Is there a different flasher from the hazards? My hazards work. Help..

Mine had separate flashers for blinker and hazzard, but I didn't have a 93 300zx. You can check your service manual to be sure or just hunt longer. I did have my turn signals go haywire for a while. It was some gum up in the contacts for the selector stalk. I had to pull off the column plastic covers, unscrew the signal stalk, wipe the contact surface with a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol, the put it back together and all was working fine.

Thank you. I will clean the contacts and see what happens.
Glad to be a part of greatness....

More often than not it's the issue Dave described with the signal stalk being the issue.

Took off the signal stalk and it checks out. But it seems from the shop manual that power goes through the hazard switch first. Then to the stalk. So I jumpered 1 and 3 and now the stalk works as it should. So seems like I need a new hazard switch module.
