Default Broken Turn signal

Help! My turn signal won't blink or it will blink 2-3 times and then stop. All the lights work. I checked the fuse, which was good. I also tried the suggestion of manipulating the key (ignition), as the weight of the keys can sometimes interfer with proper function of the turn signal according to the advice of the individual. This didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions before I take it into the shop?

Try pushing the Hazard switch on and off and see if that makes them work again. If so the Switch is bad.
That is the Turn signal relay.

I tested the flashers and they seem to work fine, but there's still no improvement in the turn signal. Any other suggestions?

What happens when you turn the Hazards on when the Blinker is messed up?
Does it make the Blinker work?

The hazard switch is the Relay for the Blinkers as well as the Hazards.

Now my flashers are working intermittently. I assume the relay is going bad. Is this an easy remove/replace job? Any suggested web sites with how-to instructions? I checked Bay 13, which I've used successfully in the past, but didn't see anything on this subject. Any help would be appreciated.

If you slide the Radio out you should be able to slide the switch out from pushing on the back of the switch.
The switch is located just under the radio.
