Can you narrow down what car we are trying to fix?

Did you replace the flasher unit?

I see your point. From what I see on the electrical diagrams they are separate. A flsher is cheap enough to try, or you can swap the turn and the hazard as a test.

Take a look inside the socket for anything abnormal. If the fuse is good, then test the wire for continuity from the fuse box to the connector on the socket. If that is good and power is going to the socket, then the socket is bad.
