Turn Signals Not Working

Turn Signals Not Working
I was driving the other day with my cruise control on and it stopped working. Then I noticed neither of my turn signals were working.
The next day, the cruise control was working again, but still no turn signals. When I engage them, there is no blinking on the dash, nor are the lights themselves on the outside blinking. However, when I run my hazards, everything flashes normally.
I drove into work today and when I was about 3/4 of the way there, the left turn signal started working normally again, but the right blinker just stayed lit. Any ideas?

It's the hazard switch on Your steering column.Blow it out with air after spraying a little WD 40 on and between the ****.Move it up and down several times and normaly everything should work again. If not, change the **** with a repair kit, availeble at the dealer. Cost about 25 usd.Don't take the covers off!!! Just pull the **** up and out with some force and put the new one in the same(some force).

Thanks for all the input, guys. I tried rienwatergroen2's WD40/air solution and it did not work. In doing so, however, I discovered that if I apply a bit of pressure to the hazard switch when I engage the turn signal, they work! So it looks like it is definitely the hazard switch. I will pull it out later and see if I can fix it or if I have to just buy the new switch.

I finally got around to buying and installing the new switch...and I'm still having some problems. The left turn signal now works but the right one does not. However, once again I can get it to work by applying a bit of pressure to the top of the hazard switch.
Also, when the car is completely turned off, no keys in the ignition...if I press the brake peddle, the car turns to ON! What is going on here?!

Well car doesn't actually start, but it would be as if I turned the key to "On" (can hear the fuel pump, lights turn on, etc). Any idea what caused this? It didn't do this before I put in the new hazard switch.

I didn't have to disconnect anything under the dash. The only thing I replaced was the hazard switch, not the multifunction switch. I pulled it out and put the new one back in and that was all.
I just discovered that if I press the hazard switch down so that the hazard lights are blinking...when I press the brake peddle, the car does not turn to On. Just some more information...
