Default Intermittent turn signals?

Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to why my turn signals have decided to start working intermittently today. Hit the stick, nothing, flip it the other way, nothing... and then a few seconds later, I hit them again for another turn out of habit, and they work fine. No codes - not like I'd have anything.

Thanks for any advice/info.

Hazard switch is usually the problem..If it starts to work after messing with the switch you need it replaced.

Had that happen once. The next time I started the car - everything worked fine....... Haven't looked any further into it. I'll be interested in your findings.

it's the hazard switch.

touch it next time you're sitting at a stop light with the blinkers on. you can feel the blink of the blinkers on the hazard switch.

this is your problem.
