Blinkers only work when...

I turn the hazard switch on. The blinkers stopped working out of the blue today, so I tried turning on the hazards. They didn't come on either. But with the hazard switch in the on position, the blinkers would work like normal. ***.

I've got this truck about 75% rewired, and I'm not against making my own new blinker controls, but I was just curious if you guys have as many electrical gremlins as I seem to have with these trucks. It's like Dodge hired apes on LSD to wire these trucks. If the ape didn't get shocked, he'd tighten down the wire. If he did, he'd find somewhere else to put it.

I've got the headlights, my new electric fans, my shut off solenoid, my electric fuel pump (ditched the mechanical one) all on relays, and I have the starter on a push button. I hate carrying around keys.

I swapped the flashers around in the fuse box, it makes no difference, still only works when the hazard switch is on. What does the three pronged white solenoid that is next to one of the flashers do? It seems to be shorting somewhere in the column and clicking on and off a lot.....


Edit:

Found out the white solenoid is the horn relay. Deleted.

Still got the blinker problem.
