replace flasher with no change in results. parked the truck for a week and when I got in they were not working. I pulled the lower dash and whole plastic column off and didn't find anything obvious. if I use my power probe and apply power to one side of the flasher the hazard lights up and stays on, I then took the indicator switch all off and again didn't see anything punching me in the face but I don't know enough to diagnose such issues

There are 2 circuits, and two flashers. The turn signal flasher is powered through the ignition switch and a fuse. The hazard flasher is powered direct from battery through a fuse. If neither works, both are out. Usually a direct short to ground somewhere will take out both fuses as both systems (turn and hazard) are tried. The short can be intermittent.

hope it helps.

Check your muffler fluid also. Oh wait, that one doesn't work any more.
