I just checked my '97 Sable wagon for a related problem; (HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT FLASH but my Turn Signals do). I checked the HAZARD FUSE (15 amp), it was fine; I got my hand under/behind the dash and wiggled all the wiring harnesses and harness sockets I could feel, then all of a sudden my flashers started working. Trying to isolate it I pinpointed the problem to the HAZARD SWITCH located above the steering column cover, (PUSH-ON, PUSH-OFF) and wiggled the switch and then they stopped again, and/or started to work again. It is probably a loose connector which will require a total dismantling to get to it. BTW: The Turn Signals and the Hazard Flashers work from the same RELAY, a Blue Ford Relay located under/behind the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. This RELAY is replaceable with a UNIVERSAL FLASHER RELAY from any auto parts. In your case, I would check the Turn Signal FUSE, it that is ok, then substitute the Turn Signal RELAY with another.

Two different switches. The combination switch on the column is most likely the culprit. This may be fuses. The turn signals and hazard lights are fed by separate circuits.

What could be the problem with a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro if the hazard lights work but the turn signals only blink once?

My research to date finds that the turn signals and hazard signals are controlled by a common relay. That relay is behind the hazard relay switch. My 2002 Audi A6 has the same symptoms you describe, and I will be removing the hazard switch to get at the relay for replacement. Good luck.
