Default Turn Signal sometimes doesn't work.

Ok noticed over the past few days the turn signal on my 2000 Vette stops working. Then all of a sudden it would start working again. Sometimes with in a few minutes ( if i play with the stock turning of and on) or if I turn it off the car and turn it back on. Any ideas on why this happens or is it just me.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If playing with the turn signal lever makes it work again thats probably the issue. The turn signal lever is well known for failing. If not the other problem could be the hazard warning switch.

Do a search and you'll find a guide on how to change the T/s lever.

More than likely you have corrosion in the 3 way hazard switch which is all connected with the turn signals. There's a DIY thread if you do a search.

I had the same problem. It was the hazard warning switch...cost $30 online and about an hour to replace. You can do it yourself with simple hand tools.

Let me do a search there is a by pass harness that I have on mine to avoid the total PIA install of a new hazard switch. This problem is very common.
