Turn Signals Stopped Working

[SCJax2018]

I know there is a thread here somewhere on the subject, I'm new here and couldn't find it again, but I have a 1996 4x2 Pathfinder and the turn signals (emergency flashers work fine) just suddenly stopped working. I checked the fuse and it was good and I have 12 volt (11.83 to be exact) and I replaced the flasher control that you have to take half the dash apart and invent a new dictionary of cuss words to get to. What else is there to check? Only thing I can think of is that the switch itself must of went bad and that thing is not cheap.

I have no clue what the heck it has to do with it, but a little bit a ago I put the Keyless 2 relay back in to the relay box under the hood and the turn signals started working again. I pulled the relay out a few weeks ago because that darn good for nothing car alarm somehow kept arming itself, and I don't have a key pad for the blasted darn thing, and going off on me when I unlock the vehicle.

I'm guessing the alarm system flashes the blinkers when it's armed/disarmed? The alarm I removed from my '93 had a wire run to the marker light circuit for that purpose, but the lights worked just the same when I removed it. I had a look at the '97 manual and it looks like there's a troubleshooting procedure starting on page 226 of the EL manual. (Get your manual here if you haven't.) Looks like most of the troubleshooting is for an alarm that fails to arm (somehow Nissan didn't anticipate "goes off for no good reason" as a failure mode) but if nothing else the wiring diagrams might help you work out how to delete the bugger.
