what do you mean by the flasher?.. sorry for my ignorance just not sure what or where it is haha
Anything else (light wise) not work? I'm not sure about the 86's but the 87-91's were notorious for problems with the multifunction switch under the steering wheel. Everything runs through it from horn to turn signals etc. Might try swapping the turn signal flasher over if it's the same. I would be surprised if its not.

my turn signals horn and lights and brights all work... just not my hazards 
There are two flashers on the fuse block. One in the front and another in the back. One is for your turn signals. The others is for the E-hazards. Might be something else as the problem, but I'd start there.

Does any one have a picture of the hazard relay in the back?
All my lights work fine, but my hazards blink fast, or sometimes not at all

THIS INFO IS FOR 87-91 MODEL TRUCKS ONLY
the hazard flasher is located in a very unlikely position in the cab.
unlike the 80-86 where the secondary flasher is on the backside of the fuseblock,
the 87-91 flasher is on the passenger side kick panel. you do not need to remove the kick panel. right above the kick panel and inline to the lower dashboard brace on the metal bulkhead is where it is at.
do yourself a favor and replace it with an electronic flasher and be done for good.

HS108: I think on the 94's if its the same as my 93. The blinker should be controlled by the panel that the light switch connects into. Mine was fried and it was doing the same thing. IMO i beleive thats the problem.

Was it the flasher that you can see in the corner of the fuse box that you replaced? Reach around the "blind" side of that fuse box, right where that flasher is, and see if you feel another one. If so, pull that one out and replace it, and try again.
It's probably the flasher on the back of the fuse panel. If not, it sounds like it could be a short in the wiring before the flasher. Check the switch in the steering column.
Here's how I would test it: Get a battery hot wire and connect it to the side of the flasher that goes to the steering column switch. If the hazards work, then you know that the problem is in the wiring from the switch to the flasher, or the switch itself. If not, replace the flasher.
