sorry but you have to replace the whole blinker part, be prepared to spend a little time. good news you want have to remove the steering wheel.
Remove the wiring harness from the back of your 1997 Ford Crown Victoria hazard lights switch. Remove the hazard light switch retaining screws. Reverse the process to install your new hazard light switch.
i believe that's like the sonoma that i had that happened to me there is a board in the wiper motor that ya can replace it think it cost me about 20.00
go to autozone.com. and click on the heater core part for your sonoma. then there should be an install manual button u click on on the page. i have a 98 gmc wit a heater core out also. i think the 97 models you just have to take off the dash.

The crankshaft position sensor on a 97 GM Sonoma 2.2 engine is located on the lower right side of the engine. It is near the ignition control module.

Had same problem on a 97. Squirt some wd-40 in the hazard switch and pop on and of a few times. It works. that will only work if the hazard button is stuck. if they just arent blinking you will need to replace the blinker. they arent expensive and usually take less than 15 min to install
