Look inside where the hazard button/switch broke off. Stick a screwdriver or something that will fit in there and press it in. They should stop blinking. try it and see if it works.

Simple fix and take about 5 min to replace, if not less.

Tools and parts needed:
Needle nose pliers, GM hazard switch kit #15174447 ($19.00 dealer)

Look where the old hazard switch was and pull out the remaining part with the pliers stright up and out.

You should now have the entire switch out and with the new switch assembly, simple insert the switch in and press firmly.

That's it, thest the new switch and your done for the day. Smile for just saving your self $45.00 installation fees at the dealer.
