Default Help!! Turn signals not working

Can anyone help with this issue?
Here is a quick rundown of what I have......
Switchback LED's, Hyperflash harness.....
They were working up until tonight. Either left or right, I here the relay clicking but no lights and no indicator lights on the dash. But if I hit the hazard button, the lights and indicator flash.

Thanks in advance

Believe it or not your Hazard Switch is going bad .Don't ask me why they do it but they do .They make a bypass Module which plugs in to replace the hazard switch without removing the dash.I was having the same issues that you describe and when I removed my dash to install Hud I replaced the h_switch then. Removing the dash is not really that bad just a pita.I really don't think there is any other way to replace the oem switch without removing the dash pad .Hope this helps.The bypass has been listed here on the forum..

Same thing happened to me. It's a common problem with C5s. I bought this, installed it a few days ago and no more problems.

Easy fix: http://corvette-enhancements.com/c5_flasher_fix.php

Not sure what cable you have installed. If it's not from Richard at Corvette-enhancements---GET ONE NOW!

Update!!
Took the hyperflash harness out of the car and took the relay apart and found it toasted....reattached the factory harness and now my turn signals are working...but flashing quickly (hyperflash).
Does anyone know of a place to get a replacement relay at a local auto store and part number??
