Default Ghost in the machine....

At purely random intervals my turn signals quit functioning. Then just as mysteriously as they quit, I will signal a turn and they will be working.

At first I thought it might be a faulty connection in the steering column somewhere (a lot of moving parts). A firend of mine thinks I should just replace the flasher unit in the fuse panel.

Anyone ever run across this as well with their C5

I have the same thing and the dealer ordered the hazzard switch. Says the turn signals go through it.

I had the same problem right after i bought my car. I could get the signals to work sometimes by pushing the hazzard switch in and out a number of times. The dealer changed the flasher and i have not had a problem since.

Yup. Everyone is right about it being the hazzard switch. Get it replaced, and all will be fine.
