Problem with blinkers

Sup people I have a question. This just happend recently. My turn signals dont go on but when i turn on my hazards the signal lights up. Where exactly can i find the problem to this signal error? I think some connection isnt touching right or something but this just happend like two days ago please let me know what you all think it might be. Thanks!

Sounds like a problem with the turn signal/headlight stalk in the steering column.

Check your bulbs and fuses

BTW you know your car description reads '95 Pearl White 95 Maxima SE SE'? Just a bit redundant.

Did you read his post? He said the signals work when the hazard button is used, but not when the stalk is used.

If I had a blinker bulb out on my car the hazard lights in the gauges worked normal.

Blinker fluid low?

But really, check the wand/stalk for any connection problems.

I kinda figured it be in the column but i dont see why it would mess up all of a sudden. maybe it said "IM GUNNA BE GHEY TODAY!" I was gunna check that out today but i looked at the column and i just got the biggest case of laziness right when i saw that. Don't worry ill figure it out and open it up Its just wierd that the hazards work and turn the lights on the front and back. but when i use the turn signals the back or front ones dont light up... wierd huh

I believe the bulbs themselves worked fine with the hazards on (at least that was my interpretation), not the dashboard indicators

Thanks guys i got them fixed yesterday as well as my side lamps. they were just blown fuses :S a bunch of trail and error. Especially mounting new aftermarket headlights on a salvaged maxima that got hit in the front end... ****ed up fitment but some smacking around did the trick.

Replace the flasher relay, it's under the dash, driver side. It's the device you hear when your directionals or flashers are on.
