01 Beetle - Turn Signals/Hazards died.

Yesterday when I was driving, I would put on my turn signal and it would flash one & a half times then go off. Today it did that at first, then they just wouldn't flash at all. When I tried my hazards, they would flash few times, then go off.

I've read that this seems to be a problem with the hazard switch, so I ordered the part. Is this the probable cause?
