In nearly every case the actual turn signal wires run from the bulbs in the turn-signal housings

directly to the hazard switch. This is done to allow the hazard system access to the turn signal

bulbs without having to run an additional set of wires out to each bulb just for the hazard system.

To make this design work the primary turn signal system feeds the outputs it wants to send to the

bulbs, located out in the turn signal housings, into the hazard switch itself. So the hazard switch

is actually a multi-pole double throw switch that connects the actual turn signal wires from the

bulbs to either the hazard circuit or to the turn signal circuit depending on the position of the switch

control button/knob.

So if you cannot operate the hazard switch because the knob broke off then it is likely stuck in

hazard mode or somewhere in between and it cannot connect the bulbs wires to the turn

signal system while in this state.

It could be the turn signal bulbs, some vehicles use separate bulbs for the hazard and turn signals. It could also be a bad switch or wires for the turn signals.
