Default Turn Signals Going Crazy

OK...I know there are probably lot's of threads out there about this...but I'm still not sure what my problem is.
My turn signals are starting to act weird. There are times when they are working normal than after awhile they start to speed up and even sometimes they will speed up very...very fast then right away they go back to normal. I checked all the bulbs and all are working properly. Could it be my switch (4 way) or my turn signal arm?

Thanks

Sounds like a ground wire. Do both sides do this or just one side?

I think it is a ground wire somewhere. Any corrosion in any of the bulb sockets?

In that case, it sounds like the switch in the steering cloumn.

Default Codes

1. Check for Codes
2. Check Splice Block on Passenger side in Engine Compartment. Remove/inspect/sand where it mates to the frame. ( http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=896875) G102

Does the Relay's sound like they are going crazy in the footwell of the Passenger compartment?

i'm no pro but could it be the hazard module? mine is a 2000 and somebody said the older c5 turn signals operate through the hazard module.. every so often my signals dont work so i press the hazard button once and all goes to normal... maybe yours is fried.. just a thought.. goodluck though!
