Sorry, by flashers I ment hazard lights. I corrected it. If I take the connector apart at the end of turn signal switch. The pins that go to the turn signals read as having continuity to ground. The pins on the switch side of the connector don't have continuity to ground. The only things that I've noticed not working is the radio and turn signals. The wipers, heat, lights, dimmer switch, all work.What do you mean "flashers?" And what do you mean "short to ground?" How did you determine this? EG If you checked from the lamps to ground they WILL suggest a short, as just one stop/ turn lamp filament is very low resistance.
If you are saying that the hazards operate and the turn signals do not, they actually use the same lamps, so they can't be shorted, UNLESS something in the switch is shorting them when the switch is centered
We need to know exactly what works and what does not and what lead you to the conclusion
