The hazard switch is cutting off the blincker when i turrn them on. If i touch or move the hazard swtch then the blinker will start working again. 2002 chevy malibu. I purchased this car band new with 11 miles on it. This started happening last year. I also see that a recall was done for this on the previous year model, looks like they didn't fix it on all malibu's.i*ak
