You checked the underhood fuses too?
Many times you can't see a blown fuse, need to use a meter or test light.

Its gotta be a fuse, if all other advice fails, check your trailer connector for corrosion and touching/loose wires.

Something easy to mess with...my dad had a 98 F150 (I know, not even close) but same problem after sitting for a while. Turn signals run through the hazard switch. His was just gunked up, pulled the steering column cover off and sprayed the switch out and excersized it and all was good. Found the problem by trying the hazards a few times and moving the switch around a bit and they worked for a few seconds. Good luck.

Do you have squirrels ? They love to chew wiring around here. Or the rats.

Multifunction switch, turn signals and brake and flashers all go through it.
