Default Turn signal work but not the hazard ?

hi i have a 98 CE camry and i just replaced LEDs in my corner lights and finded out that they blinked fast and that i need a resistor ... that being said i just returned them back cuz i dint want to spend the money and time trying to find resistors and someone installing them ... so i puted my original bulbs back ( 1157 ) but now my hazard light dont light up but my turn signals do and everything else work fine ( rear, brake , turn ) ... did i fried a fuse or something ? they worked fine with the LEDs but the fast blinking made me almost kill someone with the noise i just want to go all back to normal ... i dint checked the fuse since its been raining and snowing for the past 2 days and i dont want to pay for checking that so i want to be sure before i get my hands frozen again and i hope that im saying the right thing by hazard lights ( i mean my corner light light up when i light up my dash i think thats what they called them ) can anyone help me with this ? thanks !!

You may have separate flasher unit for 4-ways and turn signals. Can't say LEDs would have fried anything because I think they draw very little current. Usually when lights blink faster it's due to too much current running through flasher unit, for example when you hook up trailer lights. The solution then is to install a heavy duty flasher unit that will handle the extra current.

Looking at wiring diagram there is only one flasher for both turn and hazard signals. There are however separate fuses. The hazard fuse is 10amp while the turn signal fuse is 7.5amp. Check your fuses again.
