My 03 Malibu turn signals work intermittently. None of the bulbs are burned out. The hazards work, but the blinkers do not. Can someone please tell me what could be wrong and what would it take to fix it?

Dealers will replace the hazard warning switch. owner notification began on february 5, 2004. owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, pontiac at 1-800-620-7668, or oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.
