Default Malfunctioning Turning Signals

So my car's been having issues with the turning signals. It's not that they don't work because they do but only when they feel like it. Sometimes in the middle of operation they stop working and sometimes they just don't work.

Some ways I've discovered to remedy the problem is to smack the center dash abover where the Hazard switch is and/or play with the Hazard switch itself. Anybody have a similar problem?

I suspect that it's some loose wiring having to do with the Hazard switch. Any solutions?

Common corvette problem. The Hazard relay is going.

Good news is that this is supprisingly easy and cheap to fix. The turn signal/hazard relay (PN 10406626) is around $25 and takes about 30 minutes to replace.

Thanks for the info. I can't seem to find that part on any of the vette parts sites. Is that the correct part number? Thanks.

Nevermind. I found it on the official GM site. It seems that the part number has been updated but if you type in the old one it still works but only for this site.
