both hazard & direction failure - saab 9000

Hello ... I have a 1996 saab 9000 yesterday after indicating to pull into the side of the road, I also switched on the hazard lights... result ... both the direction indicator lights and the hazard lights stopped working and now refuse to work!

I have visually checked the fuses for the direction indicator & hazard light (separate fuses) ... but both seem ok ...

Also the indicator lights still flash when I use the remote fob on the cetral locking / alarm...

Is this likely to be a relay (do they share the same one)? Would the lights still flask with the alarm arming if it was a relay?

Can anyone suggest an appropriate test to proceed? Having not tackled them before ... is it a difficult and / or expensive diy job?

thanks AJ

Just for the record ... now fixed this ... it was a dry solder joint on one of the connectors on the relay... thankfully fairly small job with the soldering iron ... Gaining access to the relay was the hardest job... and had to do it twice as the flasher relay is at the back and easily unseated as you push the fuse tray back in ... broke a couple of the lack plastic rivets... but seems to be hanging on ok by the remaing one and a bit).. took about an hour altogether... and all's well so far AJ
