Hazard switch, there is/was a recall on it. Bring it down to your local dealer and the should change it out free of charge.

if you checked all the fuses theres one fuse in the dash and one for each light under the hood i would start checking the grounds i think they all ground on the frame behind the bumper

Just a thought, I had a issue similar and it turned out to be my trailer lights had rubbed against the frame and grounded out. Not sure why the center would work though... Good luck!
