Unless you have change the wiring then they should work. Suggest you check the flasher unit I think there are two 1 for hazards and 1 for indicators. N  |

yes be carefull there are two wires to the indicators circuit per side if they are wired the wrong way round they will not work at all switch them round and they come back to life , be aware keep trying them when they are in this status and you will start to burn the loom and flasher unit usually gives up and needs replacing.
the hazard lights are all incorporated in the same lamp loom however it does have two sections at the cabin and loom area near the wiper motor where there is a fuse and a bi metal relay , these are sensitive too as there are two types one is for the older cars with just four lamps and the other one is for the six lamp setup with repeaters in the wing , a tad old fashioned now i tend to replace all these old flasher cans with a later type electronic one which usually involves an additional wire to earth for them to work easy mod for reliability ,the second part is a break away from the indicator loom/switch loom goes to the dash rail for the often troublesome hazard light switch , these switches tend to dry out and become resistive as they are exposed to damp conditions and lack of use often renering them useless after a time alas these can be saved as well with very carefull stripping down you can poillish up the contacts ad some silicone grease and re assemble jobs a good'n both services i offer if anybody would like to get rid of the yearly headache at MOT time .
hope this helps you in one way or another
