The emergency flasher botton and the relay behind it is probably starting to go bad. Sometimes you can bump the dash just above the switch and it will work again! Try pushing the flasher switch a few times to see if that helps.

It's for sure the hazzard switch. It happens to mine and the temporary fix is to push the hazzard button, on and off.


Good luck.

BTW You can change this by pulling the radio instead of the dealer charging you to pull out your dash if you decide to fix the switch.

One good thump on the dash should get them working.

If not sometimes it can be the stalk on the steering column.

I replaced mine this weekend. I got mine from "valvegod". He is the greatest to deal with.

Here is the link to my post.

Easy install. Just remove center dash trim and radio, instead of the whole top of the dash.
