Default Blinker problem

Has anyone had problems with their blinkers. Every once and while my blinkers quit working. Is this a question for tech? Thanks for any help.

My blinkers work just fine. Perhaps you have an intermittent short somewhere if they are only causing you a problem part of the time. Could be a loose bulb also.

Happened to me several times, It is most likely a flasher problem. Try hitting the flashr button and letting it cycle a few times. For me, it seems to alleviate the problem

I've have the same problem. Every once in awhile EITHER my left or right does not work. Several minutes later everything is ok. It is a mystery. All the bulbs are ok and I've had no problem with the fuses. It's weird that it happens to both turn signals and only rarely. Let me know if you find a solution.

Try the cheap approach, replace the bulbs first, if no results, sounds like it may be a shorted hazard switch. This one will cost in labor.
