You push the button real fast and that makes it start working normally after that?

Did you try what was suggested in post #9 and swap the turn signal and hazard flashers? That wouldn't cost you a dime. If the hazard then works but the turn signal doesn't, you now know the flasher is defective.

Not the lever and button, Donk. The Flasher itself, on the front and back of the fuse block.

It happens or has happened to everyone at some point. If that doesn't yield results you'll need to get to the plug on the switch.

Guess the flasher didn't do anything before? Next step is to check voltage into and out of the multifunction switch.
