Default Hazards work/Blinkers dont

My blinkers have been sporatic for the past few months. when I turneither signal on, it will blinkmaybe3 times at most before it just goes out; sometimes they dontblink at all!! Also, the "ticking" sound somtimes goes out of control when I signal. It can sometimes last for the duration of the ride. almost sounds likea pen down the teeth of a fine comb over and over.However, when I hit the hazard switch, the lights blink just fine. I just want to knowhow to fix it/ or who to take it to,any ideaof the price for parts + labr.Has anyone had this problem?

mine does that from time to time. blinkers don't work or fog lights or wipers or A/C, but the hazards work. for me it was a fuse in the fuse box on the side of the dash (between the door and the dash) you might wanna check all those out just to be safe.
