Default Dam turn signals

So I'm having an issue with my turn signals, once in a while when I go to signal nothing happens, (left or right), I hit the emergency lights and that triggers my signals to start working again, I have checked all connections and they are all fine and could not find any burned out bulbs. Anyone have/had this issue?

Any help os much appreciated

Did you check the fuses, relay or flasher? I assume yes?

You said that after hitting the emergency flashers, they (the turn signals) start working again, so have you changed the emergency flasher switch? They are known to go bad and cause turn signal failures....

Bad hazard switch. Here's how to replace it if you want to tackle it yourself, part# 10359036.

Common problem with a simple low cost solution, search the Froum for a post named Turn Signal Magic and you'll learn how to solve this.

That is a link to the simplified fix...

Some other have been using a flasher bypass, I don't know anything about it

You can also buy a bypass relay from Richard at Corvette Enhancement, takes about 20 min. to install. PS Great service from Richard......Hams

My turn signal behaves just like yours and I think this winter I'm going to install one of those by-pass kits. Sounds like the way to go.

Meanwhile, I had noticed that with the turn signal lever on but no signal, it would start to work as soon as I pushed the hazard switch button in just a little bit. What I did, and it's worked for 4000 miles this summer, I pushed the hazard switch in a little bit and then wedged it with a tooth-pick. Works like a good thing!!! It's not a permanent cure but it'll do the job until it can be repaired properly.
