Based upon having dealt with this same problem on our older 1980 models and facing a much higher cost for their combination flasher/turn signal switches [~$100], I would say that you have lucked out and that there is a separate flasher unit in your's and that it is most likely the problem... and I think you might find it nearby to the hazard flasher switch on the console.
Let us know how you actually find things on your 1983 300SD... I presume this is a W126 chassis?
Regards,
When my flashers quit on a road trip I pulled into a MB shop and the owner showed my the relay under the console, which I had never heard of, Little black box 2x2x3+-" cost $40. Don't know if other MBs have this relay but I would think so.
