The hazards work but the signals do not. I blew the dome light fuse yesterday, replaced it but I have no signals now. Every other fuse is good. Anyone else have this problem ever?

Probably the turn signal flasher.

Flasher yep. Or worst case scenario, multifunction switch, but I doubt it.

Is there any way to test the flasher with a DMM or something? I doubt its the multimalfunction switch

Check the relay. Remove knee bolster, then the metal cover and check the relay

Had similar problem on my 96, parking lights out, hazzards and turn signals worked ok, checked fuses, bulb, sockets and started tracing wires for a possible ground issue. Found the wire harness runs below the air filter box, where there is an 8 wire plug connector. The wires corroded and snaped off for the lights. Thought I would have to replace the whole harness, but friend said the dealer just cuts out the plug from the harness and solders the wires together. I used wire connectors and jumped the broken wires and the lights have been working for 2 years now. Will sometime in the future cut out the plug and splice all the wires before anymore break.
