Default blinker/turn signal

My turn signals will work 50% of the time (right and left) normally but the other 50% they will blink once then just flicker. Every once in awhile when they are flickering they will go back to working normally. The hazards appear to work fine. Any ideas where to start? This is my first Vette and these few minor issues don't take away from the fun of owning one of these cars!!!

There is a separate flasher for the turn signals and the hazard lights, so this leads me to believe that your turn signal flasher is at the end of its life. The same lights are flashed with either flasher so if your hazard function works, the lamps and their grounds are ok and that leaves your flasher and turn signal switch. I would first replace the turn signal flasher, its fairly cheap.
