Default Need help- 1993 Flashers are fast and only one hazard works

Hey guys, I am new to these trucks but want to learn to fix her myself.

When I turn the lights on, all work fine. The flashers however, blink super quick and weak, with the lights on or off.

I read to check my hazard flashers. Only one light works. They all worked once, but then it went back to just one and that is where it is staying. I tried moving the tilt up and down while engaging the turn signals and/or hazards, but it did not help alleviate the problem.

Any ides where to start?
Thanks,
Bogan

Replace the flashers on the rear of the fuse box. Did you switch to led flashers by chance or are you considering it? If so, make sure you purchase flashers rated for both led and halogen use.

Thanks, I will start with the flashers. I think they are only about $8 anyway.
I have reg bulbs but I like the led idea, so I will def look for compatible flashers.

The flashers will say led compatible.

Well I stopped and bought a $6 flasher on the way home last night. It fixed my blinkers and hazards. Dang that was easy.

Thanks for the help, I would have changed out my whole multiswitch instead of a 15 second $6 switch.
