I had a problem with my left turn signal. It only worked intermittently and then finally not at all. Searched this forum and the web and tried this and that. Fuse, no. Relay, no, Hazard switch, no. I finally took the steering wheel off and low and behold the electrical connector between the stalk and the harness on the steering wheel has pulled out slightly, which only affected the left turn signal. If you try this, be careful. I believe you need to disconnect the battery to be on the safe side - don't want to set off your air bag. Good luck and congrats on your new ride. Like you, I still can't believe I'm driving a Porsche.

Edit. Just re-read the OP. In my case, the hazards worked, just not the left turn signal. So my solution probably won't be of any help. Sorry.
